A 1784 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Removes the ability to petition for opportunity to ballot for public office or party position; repealer

This bill repeals specific sections of election law that allowed candidates to petition for the opportunity to appear on ballots for public office or party positions. It removes the process where individuals could file petitions to gain ballot access, eliminating references to "petition for opportunity to ballot" throughout the election code. The change directly affects candidates seeking to qualify for elections through petitioning rather than party nominations or primary elections. Key provisions repealed include sections governing objections to such petitions and requirements for filing them, streamlining ballot qualification procedures.
