ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 8th day of February, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal
is GRANTED as to the following issue, rephrased for clarity:
Does the failure of a write-in candidate or other candidate
who obtains access to the ballot other than through the filing
of a nomination petition to timely file a Statement of Financial
Interests, as required by 51 Pa.Code § 15.3(e), constitute a
“fatal defect,” precluding the appearance of the candidate’s
name on the ballot?
