N.Y. Election Law § 2-102: State committee; creation

§ 2-102. State committee; creation. 1. The members of the state

committee of each party shall be elected from such units of

representation as the state committee shall by rule provide. The number

of members representing each unit may vary, but each member shall be

entitled to an equal vote within his unit. Each member of the state

committee shall be entitled to cast one vote unless the rules of the

party shall provide otherwise.

2. Each member shall be, at the time of his election and continuously

thereafter, an enrolled member of the party and a resident of the unit

from which he is elected except as hereinafter provided.

3. To be eligible for election as a member of the state committee at

the first election next ensuing after a readjustment or alteration of

the units of representation becomes effective, a candidate must only

have been a resident of the county in which the unit, or any part

thereof, is contained for the twelve months immediately preceding the

election.

4. When any rule of the state committee provides for representation by

gender, the designating petitions and primary ballots shall list

candidates for such party positions separately by gender marker. In

providing for such representation, the state committee shall establish

rules that provide for the ability of individuals who do not exclusively

identify as a binary gender to run for those positions and which respect

individuals' gender identity.

5. The state committee may provide for the holding of a state

convention and the election of delegates and alternate delegates thereto

in any year and may empower such convention to adopt party platforms and

policies and to transact such other business as it may prescribe.
