2020 special election
A special election for New York State Assembly District 31 was called in 2020. The candidate filing deadline was February 24, 2020, and ballots were scheduled to be certified on March 6, 2020.[2]
This election was originally scheduled on April 28, 2020. On March 28, 2020, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) postponed New York’s presidential preference primary, one Congressional special election, and four state legislative special elections to June 23, 2020, amid concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.[3]
On April 24, 2020, Gov. Cuomo canceled the special elections in a proclamation.[4] Because June 23 was also the statewide primary election date, partisan primary elections for New York State Senate District 31 would have also taken place on the same day as the scheduled special election. The seat remained empty until the general election on November 3, 2020.
The seat became vacant after Michele Titus (D) resigned on January 1, 2020, in order to assume her seat on the Civil Court bench.[5]
Candidates Richard David (D), Joseph Cullina (R), Shea Uzoigwe (Independence Party), and Derrick DeFlorimonte (independent) filed for this race.
