2018 New York gubernatorial election

Incumbent governor Andrew Cuomo decided to seek re-election in 2014 to a second term in office. Governor Cuomo defeated Zephyr Teachout in a primary election, 63 to 33%, and went on to defeat the Republican nominee, Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, 54 to 40%, in the general election. His victory — and his vote tallies in rural upstate New York counties — declined in his bid for reelection, but Cuomo was still reelected.

New York gubernatorial elections operate on a split primary system: governor and lieutenant governor candidates in each party run in separate primary elections. In the general election, candidates are chosen as unified governor/lieutenant governor tickets. New York allows electoral fusion, in which candidates may appear on multiple ballot lines in the same election.{{cite web|url=https://auburnpub.com/blogs/eye_on_ny/eye-on-ny-why-fusion-voting-matters-in-new-york/article_9b8f542c-3ff8-11e8-91eb-0f4b9c2e2623.html|title=Eye on NY: Why fusion voting matters in New York|first=Robert Harding|last=robert.harding@lee.net|website=Auburn Citizen|date=April 15, 2018 }}{{cite web|url=https://www.cityandstateny.com/articles/politics/campaigns-elections/odd-ballot-lines-new-york-fusion-voting.html|title=Odd ballot lines flourish with New York's system of fusion voting|last=d_evers|date=October 12, 2018|website=CSNY|access-date=January 23, 2019|archive-date=January 23, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190123121646/https://www.cityandstateny.com/articles/politics/campaigns-elections/odd-ballot-lines-new-york-fusion-voting.html|url-status=dead}}

The results of the gubernatorial election also determine ballot access and ballot order. A party's gubernatorial candidate must receive 50,000 votes or more for that party to obtain automatic ballot status in New York for the following four years.{{cite web|url=https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/politics/albany/2018/11/02/election-day-2018-heres-whats-ballot-new-york/1848091002/|title=Election Day 2018: Here's what's on the ballot in New York|website=Rochester Democrat and Chronicle}}

Any candidate not among the eight qualified New York political parties (Democratic, Republican, Conservative, Green, Working Families, Independence, Women's Equality and Reform, respectively) was required to submit petitions to gain ballot access. Such candidates did not face primary elections. At the time, third parties whose respective gubernatorial candidates received at least 50,000 votes in the general election secured automatic ballot access in all state and federal elections through the 2022 elections, but due to a 2020 law to change the requirements, four parties lost that access in 2020 (Libertarian, Independence, Working Families, Serve America Movement).[https://www.cityandstateny.com/articles/politics/campaigns-elections/only-two-minor-parties-new-york-will-keep-their-ballot-access Only two minor parties in New York will keep their ballot access] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210505052514/https://www.cityandstateny.com/articles/politics/campaigns-elections/only-two-minor-parties-new-york-will-keep-their-ballot-access |date=May 5, 2021 }}.

Molinaro's crushing election defeat and the Republican loss of the State Senate caused many members in the New York GOP to turn openly against then-Chairman Edward Cox, who they blamed for failing to financially or structurally support the party's election campaigns. On May 27, 2019, Cox announced that he would not run for another term as chair that year, choosing to join Donald Trump's reelection campaign instead. On July 2, the state party committee elected Nick Langworthy as the new party chairman.
