New York S01581 amends the election law to change how candidates for governor and lieutenant governor are nominated. It specifies that candidates for these offices must be designated jointly, either by the state committee or by petition. A petition is only valid if it jointly designates both candidates. The bill also mandates that ballots for these offices be printed so that the candidates' names appear in the same row or column, with the governor's name first, and that they be voted for jointly with one designating letter or number.
