Bill > A06320

This bill modifies New York election law to allow New York City voters more flexibility when signing designating petitions for municipal public offices or party positions. Currently, voters are restricted from signing petitions for more candidates than the number of positions available, with their signatures being invalidated if they exceed that limit. Under the proposed change, New York City voters within the five counties of the city would be permitted to sign designating petitions for multiple candidates for the same municipal office or party position without any numerical limit. This means a voter could potentially support more candidates than there are open positions, which differs from the previous statewide restriction. The bill aims to provide New York City voters with greater opportunity to express support for candidates through petition signing. The amendment would take effect immediately upon passage.
