Special election
A special primary election for New York State Assembly District 12 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 House District 12 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 Andrew Raia (R) resigned on January 6, 2020, to be sworn in as the town clerk of Huntington, New York. He was elected to the town clerk position in 2019.[5][6]
Candidates Michael Marcantonio (D, Working Families Party) and Keith Brown (R, Conservative Party) filed for this race.
