A 8969 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Removes the requirement for candidates to include their home address on petition forms

This bill removes a requirement for candidates to list their full home address on election petition forms. Instead, candidates may now provide only their city, town, or village and county of residence. The change applies directly to candidates submitting designating petitions (for party nominations) or independent nominating petitions. The law amendments specify that petition forms will no longer require full addresses, replacing them with just the political subdivision and county. This simplifies the petition process without altering eligibility or other voting requirements.
