A 7829 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Sets the timeline for candidate declination

This bill changes the deadline for candidates to decline multiple party nominations from 10 days to 7 days after primary election results are certified. It directly affects candidates who are nominated by more than one party for the same office but are not selected in a primary election. The key provision modifies Election Law Section 6-146 to require declination within seven days, rather than ten, following primary certification. This is a procedural adjustment with no substantive policy changes beyond the shortened timeline.
