Candidate on ballot for Onondaga County race no longer lives in legislature district – Syracuse.com

“The ballots were already printed and the election was already programmed,” Czarny said.

Should Aslam pull out a victory, the law is not clear on whether he could take office while living outside the district, Czarny said. Onondaga County’s charter specifies that a candidate must be a resident in a district when petitions are filed, which Aslam was. The elections commissioner said he would expect a legal challenge that courts would settle in that scenario.
