(a)A cover sheet shall contain the following information:
(1)The office and district number (where appropriate) for which each designation and nomination is being made, the name and residence address of each candidate, and the number of volumes comprising the petition. The names and addresses of candidates for the county committee may be set forth, by assembly district (or, in the City of New York, by election district) on a schedule to be annexed to the cover sheet. Cover sheets for the positions of county committee in the City of New York shall include, in addition to such schedule a list by election district of the identification numbers (if known) or the volume number, and page number where such signatures appear for each election district.
(2)An identification of the volumes comprising the petition. When multiple volumes are filed pursuant to section 6215.1(e)(1) or (2) of this Part, a single cover sheet may be filed with volumes identified by listing the identification number of each volume either individually or cumulatively, and the total number of volumes in the petition. With respect to all other petitions filed in multiple volumes, each volume shall have a cover sheet which shall indicate the volume number; such volumes shall be numbered sequentially and the cover sheet from the first volume shall set forth the total number of volumes comprising petition.
(3)A statement that the petition contains the number, or in excess of the number, of valid signatures, required by the Election Law.
(4)A place for the optional designation of a contact person other than the candidate(s) to be notified to correct noncompliance with these regulations.

Any Board of Elections receiving such cover sheet or a separate written notification pursuant to section 6215.9(b) of this Part, other than the State Board of Elections, shall transmit a copy of such cover sheet or separate written notification to the State Board of Elections within three business days of its filing and such website addresses shall be posted by the State board on its website as soon as practicable.
(b)Cover sheets shall be substantially in the form set forth in section 6215.8, infra.
(c)Where a designating petition involves an office to be filled by the voters of the entire state, the petition shall be accompanied by a schedule which sets forth the volume and page number of each sheet on which signatures appear of at least 100 or 5 percentum, which ever is less, of properly enrolled voters in each of at least one-half of the congressional districts of the state.
