The objection had been filed Nov. 4 by Dianne A. McGuire, Mark Vincent Urda and Nancy Hans Turner. The trio contended that Jaiswal's petition signatures had an improper heading, as they were labeled "For a Consolidated Primary Election to be held April 1, 2025," per the challenge.
"Stating the wrong election is not an appropriate heading," the objection asserted.
