Independent Voters Alliance New York State (NYIVA) New York IVA Central Committee (CC) NY??> New York law provides for central committee leadership of each political party that has achieved ballot access. ????? Coalition Minor Party Ballot ACCESS: The New York IVA does not have ballot access as a political party as of today, but we will set up an acting central committee in anticipation of achieving continuous coalition ballot access for all non-partisan independents, and for the candidates of all minor political parties that do not have New York ballot access. NY??> Participate: The identity of all NYIVA Central Committee members will be listed on this page. If you would like to be an acting member, please inquire. One female and one male member is required from each US House Congressional district for Minor or Intermediate party status under New York law. Please lend your name to the coalition effort. For Congressional Districts with no acting central committee member shown in the list below, you can apply to fill the position. Go to the New York IVA e-ONLINE FORM, same link listed below, to apply. You are needed. Your minor party background is welcome. The NYIVA is a "coalition" ballot access effort. Indicate "NYIVA Central Committee" in the "Participate" comment box. (Top of Page) (Table) NY??> All acting central committee members will have the chance to be publicly elected on the first primary election date after ballot access is achieved by petition. Gaining ballot access with 5% of the vote in a Gubernatorial or Presidential election is a legal way to maintain ballot access for a minor party under New York law, but 5% may not be a sure way to initiate minor party ballot access. (Top of Page)Background: Successful petitions are the only clear way to initially gain ballot access for a new political party in New York based on existing law. Because independents cannot be on a New York ballot as a candidate of a specific political party, 5% of the vote for independent "other party" candidates will probably not easily gain minor party ballot access. The bipartisan two-party monopoly will likely use the lack of precedent under New York law to deny political party ballot access based upon any independent candidate polling 5% of the vote. Any attempt to gain ballot access by that unprecedented route will probably require approval won in the New York supreme court or in Federal Court. Attempts to gain ballot access have been consistently challenged in court by our bipartisan controlled government using New York law legislated by our monopoly bipartisan two-party New York State Legislature. In New York, we live in a bipartisan political dictatorship. That is plain fact. The Natural Law Party had minor party status in 2000 by submitting petitions. The Reform party had intermediate party status in 1997 and 1998 based upon Ross Perot receiving over 8% of the 1996 vote for President as a Reform Party candidate. (Petitions had already been submitted. Reform Party ballot access had already been won in court in early 1996 after denial of the Reform Party petition by the New York Secretary of State. The Reform Party ballot access petition gave ballot access to the party through 1996, a Presidential election year. Perot's vote extended ballot access through the next Gubernatorial election year.) The Libertarian Party had ballot access in 2000 by submitting petitions. Ballot access by petition lasts no more than two years. Ballot access ends after the next Presidential or Gubernatorial election if the minor party candidate does not get 5% of the vote cast for one of those two specific public offices in each successive even year election. If the NYIVA doesn't get the necessary 5% of the vote, the NYIVA will submit a petition early in the next year to retain continuous coalition ballot access for two more years in New York for every public office at every level. Continuous ballot access can be achieved by well-organized coalition petition efforts. We must confront the nature and scope of the problem. Petition Efforts: The IVA ballot access petition will not be prepared until we have a full set of acting NYIVA Central Committee members in place to help lead the ballot access effort all over the state. When we begin the effort we will accumulate all signatures collected to submit in the next odd year after the signature goal is achieved. I hope we can submit the first NYIVA petition as early as 2009. We are still in organizational mode. Join in. Send Email. What do you bring to the table? nyiva at cs2pr.us Please advise. (Your Voice) Continuous Coalition Ballot Access: A petition will be prepared for the IVA to achieve ballot access when we have enough NYIVA participants who want to achieve ballot access. We need forty-four thousand??? valid petition signatures to succeed. We can most effectively turn in the highest number of valid signatures if we complete petitions within a one year or less period of time. The signatures of signers who have moved or changed their names become invalid. Many people move or change their names over a relatively short period of time. The official New York ballot access petition forms used are frequently revised. Many NYIVA participants are needed to be consistently successful. The numbers are not impossibly large: Minimum New York Coalition Party Ballot Access Numbers: Twenty signatures with over 50% valid from 4400 reliable petition circulators will give us the 44,000 valid signatures needed. With 4400 IVA certified petition circulators we will have enough participants to get the signatures in a reasonable time with a little effort from each participant. (Note: 4400 x 20 equals 88,000 total signatures to submit.) To have a workable minimum base of 4400 petition circulators, each of the 88 New York counties can average 50 petition circulators in each county, or each of the 18 US Congressional Districts can average 244 petition circulators in each district. Continuous Coalition Ballot Access: Twenty signatures every two years from 4,400+ NYIVA petition circulators (88,000+ signatures) from friends, neighbors, and family will certify NYIVA ballot access for all future elections. Every legislative candidate using NYIVA ballot access will need just 25 valid signatures, not 1000s, for ballot access. Statewide candidates will need just 1000, not 5000 valid signatures. With ballot access assured, non-partisan candidates can successfully compete with the bipartisan monopoly. (Top of Page) (Your Voice) <NY??
