Jump to navigation Jump to search

The election of the Libertarian Party of New York State Committee will take place from early 2024 to August 2024 and the new State Committee will be seated in September 2024.

Allocation

The State Committee is divided by Judicial Districts. Each Judicial District was allocated 1 members, plus 1 member for every 4,000 votes in the last gubernatorial election, and 1 member for every 600 enrolled Libertarians. The allocation was determined in January 2024 when the enrollment database was updated and reviewed. No Judicial District received seats based on gubernatorial vote since the total reported write-in vote across the state was less than 4,000.
