A 5058 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Moves the date of the presidential primary to the same date as the state primaries

This bill changes the date of the state's presidential primary to align with the regular state primary election held on the fourth Tuesday in June, rather than the current February date. It directly affects voters and presidential candidates in the state by consolidating the presidential primary with the existing state primary election. The key provision amends election law to eliminate the separate February "spring primary" for presidential delegates, instead requiring all presidential nominations to occur during the June primary. This creates a single primary date for both state and presidential elections in years when presidential electors are chosen. The bill does not alter voting procedures or eligibility, only the timing of the presidential primary.
