- Elections in New York
-
Unlike in most states, New York electoral law permits electoral fusion. As a result, New York ballots tend to list a large number of political parties. The endorsement of major party candidates by smaller parties can be important since smaller parties often use this ballot feature to offer a candidate an additional line on the ballot.

This also determines the order on the ballot. There are a number of minor parties in New York State which do not qualify for ballot status.
After the 2010 elections, these parties with ballot access were joined by a sixth party, the Green Party.
