A missing NY Democrat must stay on the ballot after a judge ruled he hasn’t been legally declared dead.
A New York state judge ruled in September 2025 that Petros Krommidas, a missing Democratic candidate for the Nassau County Legislature, must remain on the November ballot because he has not been legally declared dead under state law, which requires a three-year absence.
Krommidas vanished during a night swim off Long Beach in spring 2025, with his belongings found on shore.
His name stays on the ballot despite efforts by Democrats to replace him, following a lawsuit by two Republican voters.
The case echoes past elections where deceased or missing candidates won, including Alaska’s Nick Begich Sr. in 1972.
Krommidas’ family urges voters to honor his memory, while critics say the legal battle prolongs grief and may be politically motivated.
Voters now face a rare choice between reelecting the incumbent Republican or supporting a candidate presumed lost at sea.
