ORDER

AND NOW, this 20th day of May 2011, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, as stated by petitioners, are:

(1) Did the Commonwealth Court err when it permitted [candidate] to amend his nomination petition to correct a fatal defect in certain of the circulators’ affidavits that *410 were notarized without the circulators personally appearing before the notary in violation of the law and the public trust?

(2) Did the Commonwealth Court err by permitting [candidate] to amend his nomination petition because the invalid circulators’ affidavits were a fatal defect not apparent on the face and thus, not amendable under the Election Code?

The case will be submitted on the briefs.
