New York State permits so-called "cross-endorsements", in which a candidate is allowed to appear on more than one Party's ballot line: thus, a candidate who loses the nomination of one of the two Major Parties for a given office but has already been nominated for that same office by at least one Party which is not one of the two Major Parties will still appear somewhere on the General Election ballot despite losing said Primary; in other words, a candidate losing in the Primary does not necessarily preclude that candidate from running for the same office in November. |

Democratic | Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli Chosen by the State Legislature to succeed Alan Hevesi (who had resigned in December 2006): 7 February 2007 Seat up for election: Tuesday 2 November 2010 |
||||
On 7 February 2007, Mr. DiNapoli was chosen by the State Legislature to succeed Alan Hevesi (who had resigned in December 2006) On 9 January 2007, Governor Eliot Spitzer and State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who have been at least somewhat at odds over just what kind of person should be the new State Comptroller (it is reported that Speaker Silver would prefer a political insider, while the Governor would prefer an outsider with experience in the private financial sector), announced a plan by which this office will eventually be filled. The procedure to be followed is as follows:
In the Fall of 2006 an Ethics Commission concluded that Comptroller Alan G. Hevesi violated state law by using up to four state workers to chauffeur his wife. Democratic Comptroller Alan G. Hevesi, who was first elected in 2002 and re-elected in 2006, resigned on 22 December 2006. |
