The Libertarian Party of New York State has held a convention every year since its founding in 1973. Typically, the host chapter would cover the costs and keep the proceeds as a fundraiser. The State Committee would choose the location. In gubernatorial years, conventions are typically held in Albany while in Presidential years, conventions are typically held in New York City. In 2018, the party won ballot access. The structure of the committee had to change, in which the business of the convention actually occurs at an organization meeting of the State Committee, which is to be held according to New York State Election Law. | The Libertarian Party of New York State has held a convention every year since its founding in 1973.

The Party won ballot access in 2018 through the gubernatorial campaign of [[Larry Sharpe]], after which the legislature raised the requirements. Several legal challenges were mounted which failed, and the {{MediaNewTab|NY Email 2023-10-17 Ballot-Access.pdf|US Supreme Court declined to hear the case}}. | |||
