Appointment & Qualifications

Who is specifically said to hold no other office under the NY Constitution?

A

Commissioner of elections

B

Member of the legislature

C

Sheriff

D

County clerk

Correct Answer

C. Sheriff

AI Explanation

The constitutional no-other-office rule is attached to sheriffs. The booklet’s "Sheriffs" note cites Article XIII, §13(a) of the New York Constitution: sheriffs shall hold no other office. For contrast, the booklet says a member of the legislature may be appointed a notary public because the appointment power now rests with the Secretary of State.
