In the event the IVA cooperative populist nonpartisan political party has actual ballot access and can field a full set of candidates for public office, and there is still more than one IVA candidate standing for the office(s), the IVA will participate in primary elections as provided by NY law to elect one candidate from two or more IVA candidates to stand for each public office in the November general elections.

One central IVA cooperative guiding principle is to provide opposition and alternatives to the monopoly bipartisan two-party system in order to win local, state and national level public office with nonpartisan and proactive candidates who will provide government of, by, and for natural persons.

Briefly, the NYIVA can build a proactive nonpartisan political structure to maintain open ballot access for all public offices in NY with the least effort possible. With ballot access problems solved The Proactive Voter Movement can dedicate more time and effort toward the election of nonpartisan and proactive candidates who will represent every person in the proactive Voter Majority. IVA proactive candidates elected to public office will govern for the common good of all citizens.

The Proactive Voter Movement can become strong enough to overcome the bipartisan (two-party) left/right stranglehold on our political process. Divided, the nonpartisan voter majority will continue to be factional and marginal. Together, the populist proactive voter majority can move toward a more democratic republic of, by, and for all the people of the United States. Support your Local IVA. (Your Voice)

NYIVA Cooperative Party Ballot Access Numbers: Ten valid signatures from 5,000 petition circulators (50,000 valid signatures) are more than the number of valid signatures needed on proactive ballot access petitions in NY. Twenty times that number of petition circulators, 100,000, would lower the number of valid signatures needed per petition circulator to only one or two signatures. Signatures from a spouse and a neighbor can transform our world. Once we have 100,000 IVA certified motivated petition circulators, we can easily reform our NY political system. With as few as five thousand well-motivated petition circulators across New York State we can accomplish ballot access miracles.

Continuous Cooperative Ballot Access: Twenty signatures every two years from 5,000+ NYIVA petition circulators (100,000+ 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, populist nonpartisan candidates can successfully compete with the bipartisan monopoly.

Each state requires different numbers. (Top of Page) (Your Voice)
