- New York allows for fusion voting, which is where more than one political party can support a common candidate. Consequently, the name of a single candidate can appear on the same ballot multiple times under multiple party lines. The Working Families Party of New York endorsed and nominated Walton in February 2021, but, on April 1, election officials ruled that she was ineligible to appear on the ballot as a Working Families Party candidate after she missed the deadlines to formally accept the group's nomination.[2]
