LPNY on how to write-in Chase Oliver and Mike ter Maat:
Chase Oliver/Mike ter Maat Registered as Write-In Candidates for President/Vice President
For the first time since 1956 (Eisenhower versus Stevenson), and the second time since 1872 (Grant versus Greeley), New Yorkers will only have two choices on the ballot for President.
New York’s increased ballot access thresholds in 2020 and overall restrictive laws have been making it more difficult for third party candidates to get on the ballot.
However, the Libertarian Party’s National candidates, Chase Oliver for President and Mike ter Maat for Vice President, have been registered as write-in candidates in New York State.
So while the names of the Libertarian Party candidates will not appear on the ballot, voters in New York wishing to vote for Chase Oliver/Mike ter Maat can do so, and it will be counted.
How to Vote Write-In for President/Vice-President?
Several people have asked how the write-in process works. There is a “write-in” spot on the ballot. Depending on where you are in New York, the “write-in” box is either the bottom of the column or on the right side of the row corresponding to the office. Important: If there is a fill-in bubble in the write-in box, it will need to be filled in order for the vote to count. (See the graphic)
