Appointment & Qualifications

Which person is specifically declared ineligible for the office of notary public in the booklet's Public Officers Law note?

A

A commissioner of elections

B

A person convicted of certain selective-draft-law violations listed in Public Officers Law §3

C

A New York-admitted attorney living in an adjoining state with a New York law office

D

A county-clerk staff member designated under County Law §534

Correct Answer

B. A person convicted of certain selective-draft-law violations listed in Public Officers Law §3

Detailed Explanation

This is one of the booklet's less obvious eligibility traps. The Public Officers Law §3 note states that no person is eligible who has been convicted of the listed selective-draft-law violations. For contrast, election officials may be eligible and certain county-clerk designees are treated separately under County Law §534.
