New York Democratic presidential primary candidates need 5,000 signatures to be on that ballot. December 6 was the deadline, but the signatures can be mailed and postmarked on that day, so the list may not be final.

Already filed are petitions for Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Barack Obama, and Bill Richardson. Possibly in the mail are a Chris Dodd petition and a Mike Gravel petition. Hillary Clinton seemed to file the most signatures, approximately 62,000.

Republicans in New York’s presidential primary are listed automatically if they are discussed in the major news media, or if they qualify for primary season matching funds. None of New York’s three other ballot-qualified parties are holding a presidential primary.
