Also on every Erie County ballot: Governor, Comptroller, Attorney General, your U.S. House district, your State Senate and Assembly districts and any statewide proposals.
Party lines as printed by the county board (D = Democratic, R = Republican, C = Conservative, WF = Working Families; other parties and independent lines are spelled out). New York allows "fusion" voting: a candidate can appear on several party lines, and the votes on every line count together.
Town, city and village races are listed under each municipality; you vote only in the ones where you live, and county legislature and court races by district. Governor, U.S. House, State Senate and Assembly are on the state page. Seats per race ("Vote for N") are as printed by the board; where the board's list does not say, the page shows "see your ballot".
One candidate per seat on the list (write-ins may still be possible).
