New York City voters can now sign petitions for multiple candidates for the same municipal office or party position.

This bill amends the election law to allow voters in New York City to sign petitions for multiple candidates for the same municipal office or party position. Previously, if a voter signed a petition for more candidates than the number of positions available, the signatures were not counted. Now, voters can designate as many candidates as they wish, with signatures bearing different dates counted in order of priority. The change takes effect immediately.
