Bill > S01513

This bill amends the election law in New York to require that candidates for the offices of governor and lieutenant governor be jointly nominated by the state committee or by petition. The bill stipulates that a petition designating candidates for these two offices will only be valid if it jointly designates both candidates. Additionally, the bill mandates that ballots be printed to display the jointly nominated candidates for governor and lieutenant governor in the same row or column, with the name of the gubernatorial candidate appearing first, and that the offices be voted on jointly with a single designating letter or number.
