Alternate eligibility for designation or nomination of a candidate for an elected office of the city.

A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to alternate eligibility for designation or nomination of a candidate for an elected office of the city

This bill would amend the New York city charter to provide for an alternative method for candidates for the offices of mayor, comptroller, public advocate, borough president and member of the city council to get onto the ballot by allowing such candidates to get onto the ballot by raising the threshold amount of funding to qualify for participation in the campaign finance board’s small dollar matching program.
