Note: This article is not intended to serve as an exhaustive guide to running for public office. Individuals should contact their state election agencies for further information.

In order to get on the ballot in New York, a candidate for state or federal office must meet a variety of state-specific filing requirements and deadlines. These regulations, known as ballot access laws, determine whether a candidate or party will appear on an election ballot. These laws are set at the state level. A candidate must prepare to meet ballot access requirements well in advance of primaries, caucuses, and the general election.

There are three basic methods by which an individual may become a candidate for office in a state.

  1. An individual can seek the nomination of a state-recognized political party.
  2. An individual can run as an independent. Independent candidates often must petition in order to have their names printed on the general election ballot.
  3. An individual can run as a write-in candidate.

This article outlines the steps that prospective candidates for state-level and congressional office must take in order to run for office in New York. For information about filing requirements for presidential candidates, see "Ballot access requirements for presidential candidates in New York." Information about filing requirements for local-level offices is not available in this article (contact state election agencies for information about local candidate filing processes).

Editor's note: On March 14, 2020, Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) signed an executive order that reduced petition signature requirements for primary candidates and suspended the signature-gathering process effective March 17, 2020, in response to the coronavirus outbreak. We first reported on this change on March 16, 2020. At that time, we misunderstood the order as a change to the candidate filing deadline itself. We became aware of this mistake on March 18, 2020, and immediately corrected our information accordingly. As of March 19, 2020, New York's filing deadline for primary candidates remained April 2, 2020.

Process to become a candidate

The first page of a designating petition, 2013

DocumentIcon.jpg See statutes: Article 6 of the New York Election Law

For political party candidates

Political party candidates seeking placement on the primary ballot must be nominated via designating petitions. Sample forms are provided by the New York State Board of Elections. A party may nominate a non-enrolled member by filing a certificate of authorization, signed by the presiding officer and secretary of the meeting at which such authorization was given. Only enrolled party members may sign designating petitions. Signature requirements vary according to the office being sought. Generally speaking, a candidate must collect signatures equaling at least 5 percent of the number of active enrolled voters in the political unit (e.g., the state for statewide offices, such as governor; the legislative district for state senate or assembly districts; etc.), or a fixed total established by statute, whichever is less.[6][7][8][9][10]

Designating petitions must be submitted to the appropriate county board of elections, with the following exceptions:[11]

  • If the political unit of the office being sought lies entirely within New York City, the petition must be filed with the city board of elections.
  • If the political unit of the office being sought comprises more than one county or portions of two or more counties, the petition must be filed with the New York State Board of Elections.

Designating petitions must be filed between the 10th Monday and ninth Tuesday prior to the primary election. A candidate must file a certificate of acceptance or declination of the designation no later than the fourth day after the last day to file designating petitions.[12]

Enrolled party members may also circulate petitions to allow for the opportunity to write in a candidate for an office for which there is no contest for the party nomination at the primary. These are called opportunity to ballot petitions and are substantially the same as designating petitions (i.e., the petitions are held to the same signature and filing requirements, etc.), except that they do not require a candidate to be named.[6][13]

For independent candidates

Independent candidates seeking placement the general election ballot must be nominated via nominating petitions. Sample forms are provided by the New York State Board of Elections.[6][14]

The group of voters making the nomination may designate a name for themselves, provided the name is rendered in English and does not suggest similarity with an existing political party or a political organization that has already filed a nominating petition.[15]

Signature requirements vary according to the office being sought. Generally speaking, candidates must collect signatures equaling at least 5 percent of the total number of votes cast for governor within the political unit at the last gubernatorial election, or a fixed total established by statute, whichever is less.[16]

Nominating petitions must be submitted to the appropriate county board of elections, with the following exceptions:[11]

  • If the political unit of the office being sought lies entirely within New York City, the petition must be filed with the city board of elections.
  • If the political unit of the office being sought comprises more than one county or portions of two or more counties, the petition must be filed with the New York State Board of Elections.

According to New York election law, "A petition for an independent nomination for an office to be filled at the time of a general election shall be filed not earlier than twenty-four weeks and not later than twenty-three weeks preceding such election.”[12] A certificate of acceptance or declination of an independent nomination for an office that will be filled in the general election must be filed by the third day after the deadline for nominating petitions.[12]

Write-in candidates

A write-in candidate for president or vice-president must file a certificate of candidacy with the New York State Board of Elections. Write-in candidates for other federal or state offices do not have to submit any filing paperwork.[17]

Petition requirements

See also: Methods for signing candidate nominating petitions

In some cases, candidates may need to obtain signatures via the petition process to gain access to the ballot. This section outlines the laws and regulations pertaining to petitions and circulators in New York.

Format requirements

The contents of candidate petitions are established by state law. Generally speaking, candidate petitions must include the following information:[18][19][20][21]

  • Date of the election
  • Name of the candidate and the office being sought
  • Candidate's residential address and, if applicable, mailing or post office address
  • For each signer: signature, date of signing, and residential address

Voters are required to affix their signatures personally to the petition. Other information may be filled in by someone else. All pages must be sequentially numbered and securely fastened.[21][20]

If a petition contains more than 10 pages, a cover sheet must be included. Cover sheets must include the following information:[21]

  • Name and residential address (and mailing address, if applicable) of the candidate
  • Office being sought
  • Name of the party or independent body making the nomination
  • A statement indicating that the petition contains signatures equal to or greater than the number required by law

Signature requirements

Voters are required to affix their signatures personally to the petition.[21]

Petitions must include a witness statement indicating that each signature made to the petition sheet was made in the presence of the witness. Only an individual qualified to sign a petition may serve as a witness to it.[21][22]

Circulator residency requirements

On June 12, 2018, Judge Steven Gold, of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, issued his ruling in Free Libertarian Party v. Spano, striking down New York's prohibition against out-of-state petition circulators. Gold granted state officials the authority to continue enforcing the prohibition until November 7, 2018, indicating in his order that there was insufficient time for state officials to develop new procedures in advance of that election's petitioning period, which was scheduled to begin on June 19, 2018, for federal offices.[23]

Objections

A registered voter can challenge the validity of a petition. General objections must be filed in writing within three days after the petition is filed. Specific objections must be filed within six days of filing general objections. For petitions filed with the New York State Board of Elections, challengers must serve the candidate with a copy of the specific objections and submit proof of serving such notice to the state board.[21][24]

Noteworthy events

2022

Second Circuit upheld New York ballot access laws passed in 2020

On October 19, 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld the ballot access laws passed in New York in 2020. The Libertarian Party sued the New York State Board of Elections over these laws on July 28, 2020, calling them unconstitutional thresholds enacted to keep minor parties off of the ballot. A U.S. District Court ruled in favor of the New York State Board of Elections in 2021, and the Second Circuit upheld that ruling.[25]

Provisions of the 2020 ballot access laws include the following:[25]

  • Increasing the statewide independent petition from 15,000 to 45,000 signatures.
  • Changing the definition of a qualified party from a group that polls at least 50,000 votes for governor to one that polls 2% for the office at the top of the ticket every two years. In 2020, 2% was 172,337 votes.
  • Retaining a six-week petitioning period, increasing the distribution requirement, and retaining a ban on anyone signing two petitions for the same office.
  • Lacking any procedure for a group to transform itself into a qualified party in advance of an election--something that exists in 39 states.
