New York Ballot Access Bill

Seven New York Assemblymenbers have introduced A1464, which deletes the requirement that a petition circulator must live in the district of the candidate whose petition is being circulated. This residency requirement for candidates (for both primary petitions and general election petitions) has already been held unconstitutional, so the bill, if passed, would merely update the election code so that it follows existing policy.
