Bill Summary

Relates to elections to party positions by gender; requires designating petitions and primary ballots to list candidates by gender marker; requires the committee to establish rules that provide for individuals who do not exclusively identify as a binary gender to run for such positions and which respect such individuals' gender identity; requires that the board not promulgate rules that are inconsistent with a system that requires individuals filing for candidacy to self-identify their gender markers as "M", "F" or "X", requires all candidates to run in a single race, and maintains requirements for gender diversity.

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York Election Law to require that designating petitions and primary ballots list candidates for party positions separately by gender marker, and that the state and county committees establish rules to provide for individuals who do not exclusively identify as a binary gender to run for such positions while respecting their gender identity. The bill also requires the Board of Elections to promulgate rules to facilitate this, but prohibits rules that are inconsistent with a system that requires candidates to self-identify as "M", "F", or "X" and maintains requirements for gender diversity.
