Prohibits political candidates from being nominated by more than one party for any public office
This bill (A 7101) prohibits political candidates from being nominated by more than one party for the same public office in New York. It amends Election Law Section 6-122 to explicitly state that a person cannot be nominated if they have already accepted another party's nomination for that office. The key provision (subsection 4) directly restricts candidates from seeking or accepting multiple party nominations simultaneously. This affects all candidates running for elected positions in New York, preventing them from appearing on multiple party ballots for the same office. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
