In 2020 an onerous new ballot access law was passed which more-than-doubled the gubernatorial candidate vote threshold for retaining ballot access in New York and set the Presidential candidate threshold to 2% of the vote. Because Hawkins/Walker was not able to street campaign much of the year due to the pandemic, they were unable to secure the necessary 2% of the vote and GPNY lost ballot access.

In 2022 GPNY must collect 45,000 Signatures in a timeframe of 6 weeks with at least 500 or 1% of enrolled voters from each of 1/2 of congressional districts in order to qualify to run a candidate for governor. We need people to help. Please contact the Ballot Access Coordinator.
