New York Election Results

As in-person and absentee ballots continue to be tallied across the state, NYSAR can provide preliminary election results, which are subject to change. Overall, it appears Republicans will gain 3 Congressional seats in New York, at least 1 seat in the State Senate with 3 races still being too close to call, and at least 3 seats in the State Assembly with 6 races too close to call. Democrats in the State Legislature are closely watching these “too-close-to-call” races as they will decide whether the Senate and Assembly hold on to their respective veto-proof supermajorities (42 members in the Senate and 100 members in the Assembly). Democratic incumbents swept the ballot in statewide elections for Governor (Kathy Hochul), State Attorney General (Letitia James), State Comptroller (Thomas DiNapoli) and U.S. Senate (Chuck Schumer). Up-to-date election results can be viewed on the NYS Board of Elections website. For a full breakdown of races and analysis, click HERE.
