A 11192 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Removes designating letters on ballots

This bill modifies election procedures by removing the requirement to print designating letters next to row or column headers on ballots. It directly affects voters, election officials, and political parties who currently rely on these letters to identify candidates. The change eliminates a specific formatting rule that previously mandated the inclusion of these letters alongside party names in black ink. Consequently, future ballots will display party or independent body names without the accompanying alphabetical or numerical designators. This adjustment simplifies the visual layout of ballots while maintaining the core information needed to select candidates.
