The New York Conservative Party remains a powerhouse among third parties in the U.S. It has been ballot-qualified starting in 1962, longer than any other party in any state other than the Democratic and Republican Parties. It always has nominees for a majority of all the congressional and legislative seats that are up, although most of them are also Republican nominees.
In 2018, its vote was lower than it had been for some time. In the U.S. House races it contested, and in the State Senate candidate races it contested, and in the Assembly races it contested, it polled a smaller share of the vote than at any time since 2008. Its gubernatorial percentage was the lowest since 2006.
The U.S. House race showings in the districts it contested were: 2018 4.77%; 2016 5.49%; 2014 8.46%; 2012 4.84%; 2010 5.96%; 2008 3.36%.
Its State Senate showings in the districts it contested were: 2018 5.51%; 2016 6.25%; 2014 9.43%; 2012 6.56%; 2010 6.68%; 2008 4.21%.
Its Assembly showings in the districts it contested were: 2018 6.15%; 2016 7.23%; 2014 10.05%; 2012 6.73%; 2010 7.64%; 2008 4.21%.
I think a more interesting statistic would be the percentage of the candidates’ total vote that the party is getting.
The Conservative Party is having the same problems identical to the the Green, Libertarian, Constitution Parties…

Howie, that’s a good idea, although it would be complicated because the Conservative Party has a surprising number of its own nominees, who are not also the nominees of a major party. In 2018 there were three Conservative Party nominees for US House who weren’t major party nominees (out of 19 Conservative Party US House nominees).
For State Senate, there were 7 Conservatives who weren’t major party nominees (out of 47 State Senate nominees).
For Assembly, there were 15 Conservatives who weren’t major party nominees (out of 95 nominees).
