Qualified New York political parties

In New York State, to obtain automatic ballot access, a party must qualify every two years by receiving the greater of 130,000 votes or 2% of the vote in the previous gubernatorial election or presidential election. As of 2025, the following New York political parties are qualified political parties with automatic ballot access: Democratic, Republican, Working Families, and Conservative.

Parties that do not qualify for automatic ballot access can petition their way onto the ballot. For statewide candidates, this requires 45,000 signatures, and requires 500 signatures in at least half of the congressional districts in the state.
