Printed candidates for every statewide candidate contest

Who is running in New York?

The amended New York State Board of Elections certification shows 6 unique printed candidates or tickets across 3 contests decided statewide on November 3, 2026.

Name source: The official 136-page amended certification is dated September 17, 2026, and was checked October 1. New York permits fusion voting, so one candidate or ticket can appear on more than one party row. This guide combines those rows and counts each unique choice once. Withdrawn or removed names are excluded.

No official named statewide write-in roster

The official election-law update defines and explains write-in voting, but New York does not publish a named general-election write-in candidate certification for these statewide offices. The zero here is a named-roster count, not a claim that voters cannot cast a write-in vote. Generic write-in opportunities are not printed candidates.
