Ranked-Choice Voting only applies to New York City primary and special elections for Mayor, Public Advocate, Comptroller, Borough President, and City Council.

To run for office on a line other than an official party line, one must file an independent nominating petition. The New York State Election Law sets forth the form of this petition; § 6-140 (state, county and town offices), § 6-206 and § 15-108 (village elections).
Each state is permitted to have one elector for each representative in Congress (27 U.S. House of Representatives and 2 U.S. Senators).
A caucus is an open meeting of a town or village's political party at which candidates are nominated for elective office. Only residents of the town or village who are enrolled members of the party may participate in the caucus. For further information on caucuses see, Election Law §6-108 (towns) and §15-108 (villages).
The information required for the witness statement is mandatory. Omissions, errors, or unexplained alterations/corrections, may invalidate the entire page. When the witness signs the statement of witness, they are making an oath that subjects them to the penalties for perjury if any of the information preceding their signature is false. The information preceding the signature includes the name and residence of the witness; the number of signatures on the page; a statement that each person signed in their presence; and the date they are signing the statement. Witness identification information, which follows the witness's signature, may be provided by anyone, at any time before the petition is filed. This information includes the town or city; and the county of the witness's registration.
If there are 10 or more pages in a petition, there must be a cover sheet. In New York City, and in other counties where identification numbers are used, only one cover sheet is required, regardless of the number of volumes in the petition. In all other instances, a multi-volume petition requires a cover sheet for each volume.
Independent Candidates. An independent candidate for president is someone who is running on a line other than an official party line. Petitions for independent candidates must include the names of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates, as well as the names of person(s) running for the electoral college.
However, a registered voter may challenge the validity of a petition. Written objections must be filed within 3 days after the petition is filed (1 day in a village election).
