Section 6215.10 - Advertising, marketing and promotions

(a) The state committee of a political party whose rules provide for party positions to be divided by gender shall adopt rules which provide for the ability of individuals who do not exclusively identify as a binary gender to stand for election to such party positions.

(b) Whenever party positions are divided by gender, there shall not be a separate contest for each such gendered position. There shall be one contest in which eligible voters may vote for as many candidates as there are party positions to be filled. The canvass of such election shall be transmitted to the party committee which shall determine from such canvass which persons shall be seated in accordance with the rules of the party, in conformity with section 2-102 of the Election Law.

(c) Whenever party positions are divided by gender, the candidates shall be listed on the ballot with a designation identifying their gender association in parenthesis following the name of such candidate. 'M' shall designate male gender, 'F' shall designate female gender, and 'X' shall designate any gender other than female or male.

(d) Candidates for gendered party positions shall indicate their gender on their designating petition. Any gender designated other than male or female shall be recorded as 'X.'
