The New York State Board of Elections is a bipartisan agency of the New York state government within the New York State Executive Department responsible for enforcement and administration of election-related laws.[1][2] It also regulates campaign finance disclosure and limitations through its "fair campaign code".[1][3]
The State Board of Elections has four commissioners, all appointed by the Governor of New York: For the first two seats, the chairs of the two major political parties each submits a list of two or more recommended candidates, from which the governor appoints one commissioner. For the remaining two seats, each major political party's state legislative leadership submits a recommended candidate, which the governor appoints as commissioner; but if the governor declines or rejects appointing that candidate to a vacancy, the legislative leadership can either appoint the recommended candidate directly, or recommend another person to the governor instead.[2]
In addition to the State Board of Elections, there is also a 2-member or 4-member board of election in each county, except for the five counties covered by the single, 10-member New York City Board of Elections.[4]
