 Following Election Day, a Party Rules Subcommittee was created under the Administrative Division to create a rules document that complies with Election Law. Following a series of discussions on different versions of rules, a set of rules drafted by a subset of the subcommittee filed rules with the New York State Board of Elections on December 24, 2018. The State Committee formally endorsed those rules on January 6, 2019. The rules created a Transition Committee, which is tasked with facilitating the transition from January 2019 until the spring 2019 convention.
