Bill > S07962

This bill modifies the New York election law by reducing the timeline for candidate declination from ten days to seven days after a primary election. Specifically, the bill changes an existing provision that allows a candidate who has been designated for multiple party nominations, but is not nominated at a primary election, to decline nominations from certain parties. The new language clarifies that the seven-day period begins after the primary election is officially certified, which provides a more precise timeline for candidates to make decisions about their party nominations. This amendment aims to streamline the nomination process and potentially expedite post-primary election procedures by shortening the window in which candidates can withdraw from party nominations.
