Summary

The bill amends New York’s election law to require any candidate who has been designated for two or more party nominations, but who does not receive a primary nomination from one or more of those parties, to formally decline those extra nominations within seven days after the primary results are certified. It applies to candidates running for offices on the general‑election ballot and aims to provide a clear, timely process for withdrawing from party lines.
