Why Aren't Howie Hawkins and Gloria Mattera on the Ballot?
In 2020, New York state tripled the petitioning requirement for non-major party candidates from 15,000 to 45,000 signatures in 42 days, making it the most difficult requirement of any state in the nation. Like all seven other attempts to qualify independent gubernatorial candidates, the Green Party failed to meet that extreme standard. That is why the Greens must run as write-in candidates in 2022.
