NY A05330

Adds new section 6-109 to election law allowing county committees to designate party candidates for county-wide offices if party rules permit.

County committee votes must be by majority vote, with each member's voting power determined by the ratio of votes the party's gubernatorial candidate received in their unit to total county votes for that candidate in the last general election.

Enrolled party members may make alternative designations by petition for same-party candidates.

County committee designation meetings must occur between 21 days before and the first day to sign designating petitions for the primary election, with results filed within four days to the county board of elections.

No person may receive designation from a county committee for more than one office; designations for offices within a county subdivision or crossing county lines follow procedures specified in party rules.
