NY A08969

Allows candidates for public office to list only their political subdivision (city, town, village) and county of residence on designating and independent nominating petitions instead of their full home address

Amends petition form requirements across multiple sections of election law, including forms for governor/lieutenant governor joint candidacies, party designating petitions, and village office nominations

Requires boards of elections to record candidates' political subdivisions and residences "if disclosed" when maintaining public filing records

Removes an exception that previously allowed boards of elections to make a person's address public during ballot access filing periods despite address confidentiality notifications under judiciary law

Updates petition form language throughout to use gender-neutral terms (e.g., "themselves" instead of "himself or herself")
