New York State Senate Passes Bill Moving Independent Petition Deadline from August to July

On May 22, the New York State Senate passed SB 1115. It moves the primary for state and local office from September to August. It also moves the petition deadline for independent candidates and the nominees of unqualified parties from early August to early July. The vote was 35-26.

This bill conflicts with AB 3052, which has already passed the Assembly and which moves the petition deadline to May.
