New York state uses a party-column or party-row type of ballot. The order of parties on November 7 will be: Republican, Democratic, Independence, Conservative, Working Families, Green, Libertarian, Rent is Too Damn High/Socialist Equality, and Socialist Workers.

The old-fashioned lever machines only have 9 columns or 9 rows, so the Board has put the Rent is Too Damn High Party (which only has nominees for Governor & Lt. Gov.) in the same column/row as the Socialist Equality Party (which only has a candidate for US Senate).

This is the last year New York or any other state will be using old-fashioned mechanical voting machines.
