New petition deadlines for 2026 primary candidates

Beginning January 1, 2026, New York sets special deadlines for designating petitions for 2026 primaries. Candidates must file between the 13th Monday and the 12th Monday before the primary, including both dates. Signatures count only if made no earlier than 41 days before the last filing day. Signatures made after the 12th Thursday before the primary do not count. These temporary rules replace the usual timing rules and expire December 31, 2026, when they are repealed.
