General Information
Note: The information contained here is intended to provide general guidance for
those who are preparing to circulate petitions, or expand their knowledge of the
nomination process, and is not to be used as a substitute for consulting the New
York State Election Law for specific petition requirements.
Persons wishing to run for elective office may be nominated by a political party or through the
filing of an independent nominating petition. Party members may also circulate petitions to
create the opportunity to write in the name of an unspecified person for an office in which there
is not contest for the party endorsement. The current political parties are: Democratic,
Republican, Conservative, Working Families, Independence and Green. Any person not
nominated by one of these parties must file an independent nominating petition. The
requirements for all petitions are contained in Article 6 of the New York State Election Law. The
provisions for village elections vary slightly, and the reader is directed to Article 6 and 15 of the
New York State Election Law for specifics.

Elected Positions
Party nominations of candidates for elected county positions are made by a Designating Petition.
(County Court Judge, County Clerk, County Treasurer, County District Attorney, County
Sheriff, County Corner, and Democratic and Republican County Committee; all County and
Town Conservative Party races) If more designating petitions are filed for an office than
positions available there will be a Primary Election to determine the party candidate. Party
nominations of candidates for town and village elective office in Livingston County are made at
a party caucus. To run for office on a line other than an official party line, one must file an
Independent nominating petition.
Designating Petitions
Designating Petitions are used to nominate party individuals for elected offices. Only enrolled
members of a party qualified to vote for an office may sign designating petitions of the party. If
more designating petitions than openings are filed for the same office and of the same party a
Primary Election would be held for that office. (Example: 3 designating petitions filed for an
office that only has 2 openings.) The NYS Election Law sets forth the form of this petition; §6132 (state, county and town offices). A sample petition form and detailed instructions is included
in this booklet. For villages refer to §6-204.
4
Independent Nominating Petitions
To run for office on a line other than an official party line, (Democratic, Republican,
Conservative, Green, Working Families, Independence, Women’s Equality and Reform) one
must file an Independent Nominating Petition. Any registered voter who has not already signed a
designating petition, and who is qualified to vote for an office, may sign an independent
nominating petition for that office. For Village offices if you participated in a caucus, you cannot
sign an independent nominating petition. An Independent petition requires the candidate to
create a name for the party name. The party name must not be the same or similar to one of the
current constituted parties in New York State. The candidate may choose an emblem from the
list provided by the Livingston County Board of Elections or create their own. The name and
emblem for the party must be filed when filing the petition. A notarized Certificate of
Acceptance must be filed within three days for all independent nominating petitions (except for
judicial offices). The NYS Election Law sets forth the form of this petition; §6-140 (state, county
and town offices) and §6-206 (village offices). A sample petition form (§6-140) and detailed
instructions is included in this booklet.
Opportunity to Ballot Petition
An Opportunity to Ballot Petition creates a primary for an office in a political party that
previously had no primary it allowing an unnamed candidate to have their name written in for a
party office at the Primary Election. The NYS Election Law sets forth the form of this petition;
§6-132 and §6-166.
Certificate of Authorization
Political parties may nominate/designate a candidate who is not an enrolled member of the
political party. Such circumstances require that the party must file a Certificate of Authorization,
signed and acknowledged by the presiding officer and the secretary of the meeting at which such
authorization is given. A certificate of authorization is not needed for nominations resulting from
a caucus or for a candidate for a judicial office. This form should be filed with the petition or
received in the Board of Elections no later than 4 days after the last day to file Designating
Petitions.
Certificate of Acceptance
A Certificate of Acceptance is needed for a candidate listed on a designating petition that is not
of the party passing the petition. A Certificate of Acceptance is always needed when filing an
Independent Petition, except for judicial candidates. This certificate has to be notarized and filed
not later than the fourth day after the last day to the file the petition (third day for Independent
Petitions). Deadline dates for filing these certificates is included in the political calendar.
Certificate of Declination
A Certificate of Declination needs to be filed for any candidate declining a nomination or
designation. This certificate has to be notarized and filed not later than the fourth day after the
last day to the file the petition (third day for Independent Petitions). Deadline dates for filing
these certificates is included in the political calendar.
Caucus
A Caucus is an open meeting of a town or village's political party at which candidates are
nominated for elective office. Only residents of the town or village who are enrolled members of
the party may participate in the caucus. A caucus is organized by the town or village party
chairman (in the absence of a party chairman, the county committee chairman may designate the
caucus chair). In Livingston County the Democrats and Republicans caucus for all town and
village positions; Conservative party use Designating Petitions For further information on
caucuses see, Election Law §6-108 (towns), and §6-202 (villages) and the current political
calendar
5
Petitions
The statute requires that all petitions be substantially in the form set forth in the NYS Election law
§6-132 (party designating petitions), §6-140 (independent nominating petitions) and §6-202 (village
designating and independent petitions). Deviations or slight rearrangements of the form of petition are not
fatal defects, provided that the petition contains all of the required information.
Each sheet of the petition must correctly set forth:
 the date of the Election: Primary Election date for Designating Petitions, General Election Date
for Independent Nominating Petitions
 the name of the candidate and the office or position sought
 the candidate's residence, and if different, their mailing or post office address
 information about the signer: date of signing, voter's residence address, town or city
 information relating to the person who witnesses the signatures
A petition may include a committee to fill vacancies. Failure to provide such a committee, or naming a
committee of fewer than three persons will not invalidate the petition.
The voter need only sign the appropriate line on the petition sheet. All other information may be filled in
by someone else. Corrections may be made to any information on the signature line. However, corrections
or alterations in the date or the signature MUST be initialed by the person making the correction.
Voters may not sign a petition for more candidates than there are openings for an office. For example, if
there is one council seat open, the voter may only sign one petition for a candidate for that office. If there
are 2 seats open, the voter may sign petitions for 2 candidates. The pages of a petition must be
sequentially numbered and securely fastened.
Signature Requirement
The number of signatures needed depends on the office and political party. Please contact the Livingston
County Board of Elections for individual signature requirements.
Witnesses to a Petition
Any registered voter in the State of New York may witness a petition. A witness to a designating
Petition must be enrolled in the political party for that petition. A witness may not witness his or
her own signature. The information required for the witness statement is mandatory. Omissions,
errors, or unexplained alterations/corrections, may invalidate the entire page. When the witness
signs the statement of witness, they are making an oath that subjects them to the penalties for
perjury if any of the information preceding their signature is false. The information preceding the
signature includes the name and residence of the witness; the number of signatures on the page; a
statement that each person signed in their presence; and the date they are signing the statement.
Witness identification information, which follows the witness's signature, may be provided by
anyone, at any time before the petition is filed. This information includes the town or city; and
the county of the witness's registration. A candidate can be a witness to his/her own petition.
The notary section is only completed when the petition is carried by a notary.
6
Cover Sheets
If there are 10 or more pages in a petition, there must be a cover sheet. A multi-volume petition
requires a cover sheet for each volume. Cover sheets must be permanently fastened to the
petition, no paper clips.
Cover sheets must contain the following information:
 name, residence address, and mailing address if different, of the candidate.
 the public office or party position sought.
 the name of the party or independent body making the nomination.
 a statement that the petition contains a number of signatures equal to or in excess of the
number required by statute.

deficiencies in binding or cover sheet requirements.

there are different candidates on the several pages of the petition. Those requirements are
contained in Part 6215 of the rules and regulations of the NYS Election Law.

manner at the appropriate board of elections (County or State). Pursuant to section §1-106(1) of
the NYS Election Law. If the last day for filing falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the

postmarked prior to midnight of the last day of filing shall be deemed timely filed and accepted
for filing when received. No filings will be accepted by facsimile or e-mail.

nominating petitions, or if they are named in a designating petition but are not enrolled members
of that party. Neither an authorization nor an acceptance is required if the individual is a
candidate for a judicial office. A declination must be filed should the candidate decide not to
accept the designation or nomination.
Objections
Every petition is presumed to be valid when filed, if, on its face, it appears to be in proper form
and to contain enough signatures. However, a registered voter may challenge the validity of a
petition. Written objections must be filed within 3 days after the petition is filed (one day in a
village election). Specifications of objections must be filed within 6 days of filing the general
objections (two days in a village election). For petitions filed with the NYS State Board of
Elections, objectors must deliver a copy of the specifications of objections to the candidate and
file proof of such delivery with the State Board. For further details see NYS Election Law

Poll Watchers
To ensure fair and honest elections, New York State law provides for appointing Poll
Watchers to observe voting at the polls. Poll Watchers are designated by party chairman,
candidates, or an independent body whose candidate is on the ballot. They are assigned to
particular pollsites to observe the election and keep a record of attending voters on behalf of a
particular candidate, political party, or organization. If they observe irregularities, they are to
report these observations to either the Election Inspectors or the County Board of Elections.
While keeping a voter list, they must not interfere with the election process. Each watcher must
be a qualified voter of the city or county in which he/she is to serve. Poll Watchers must present
a certificate in writing (issued by the chairman or secretary of the political party, independent
body or candidate) to the Inspectors of the election district they are assigned to. Poll Watcher
Certificates are available at the County Board of Elections and from your party Chairman.
