Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in New York in 2024. Information below was calculated on June 18, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Seventeen of New York's 213 state legislative seats up for election in 2024 were open, meaning no incumbent filed.

This was the fewest for the state since Ballotpedia began tracking these figures in 2010, and newcomers were guaranteed at least eight percent of the legislature the following year.

New York had 35 contested state legislative primaries in 2024, down 44% from 2022. Of these, there were 31 for Democrats and four for Republicans. For Democrats, this was down from 53 in 2022, a 42% decrease. Contested Republican primaries were down 60% from 10 in 2022.

Eighteen incumbents—17 Democrats and one Republican—faced primary challenges, representing nine percent of all incumbents who ran for re-election. Twenty-four percent of incumbents who ran for re-election faced primary challenges in 2022.

In total, 398 major party candidates filed to run: 235 Democrats and 163 Republicans. All 150 State Assembly seats and all 63 Senate seats were up for election.

Open seats

The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the New York State Senate from 2010 to 2024.[2]

Open Seats in New York State Senate elections: 2010 - 2024

2024 63 5 (8 percent) 58 (92 percent)

2010 63 5 (8 percent) 58 (92 percent)

Legislative referrals

See also: Legislative referral

A legislative referral, or legislatively referred ballot measure, is a ballot measure that appears on the ballot due to a vote of the state legislature. A legislative referral can be a constitutional amendment, state statute, or bond issue.

As of the 2024 election, a simple majority vote was required during two successive legislative sessions for the New York State Legislature to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot. That amounted to a minimum of 126 votes in the New York State Assembly and 32 votes in the New York State Senate, assuming no vacancies. Amendments did not require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.

At the time of the 2024 election, Democrats held a 41-21 majority in the Senate and 101-48 majority in the Assembly. Democrats needed to win 25 Assembly seats to be able to pass legislative referrals without Republican votes. Republicans needed to win 11 Senate seats and 78 Assembly seats to have the same ability.

Process to become a candidate

DocumentIcon.jpg See statutes: Article 6 of the New York Election Law

For political party candidates

Political party candidates seeking placement on the primary ballot must be nominated via designating petitions. Sample forms are provided by the New York State Board of Elections. A party may nominate a non-enrolled member by filing a certificate of authorization, signed by the presiding officer and secretary of the meeting at which such authorization was given. Only enrolled party members may sign designating petitions. Signature requirements vary according to the office being sought. Generally speaking, a candidate must collect signatures equaling at least 5 percent of the number of active enrolled voters in the political unit (e.g., the state for statewide offices, such as governor; the legislative district for state senate or assembly districts; etc.), or a fixed total established by statute, whichever is less.[3][4][5][6][7]

Designating petitions must be submitted to the appropriate county board of elections, with the following exceptions:[8]

  • If the political unit of the office being sought lies entirely within New York City, the petition must be filed with the city board of elections.
  • If the political unit of the office being sought comprises more than one county or portions of two or more counties, the petition must be filed with the New York State Board of Elections.

Designating petitions must be filed between the 13th Monday prior to the primary election and 12th Thursday after it. A candidate must file a certificate of acceptance or declination of the designation no later than the fourth day after the last day to file designating petitions.[9]

Enrolled party members may also circulate petitions to allow for the opportunity to write in a candidate for an office for which there is no contest for the party nomination at the primary. These are called opportunity to ballot petitions and are substantially the same as designating petitions (i.e., the petitions are held to the same signature and filing requirements, etc.), except that they do not require a candidate to be named.[3][10]

For independent candidates

Independent candidates seeking placement on the general election ballot must be nominated via nominating petitions. Sample forms are provided by the New York State Board of Elections.[3][11]

The group of voters making the nomination may designate a name for themselves, provided the name is rendered in English and does not suggest similarity with an existing political party or a political organization that has already filed a nominating petition.[12]

Signature requirements vary according to the office being sought. Generally speaking, candidates must collect signatures equaling at least 5 percent of the total number of votes cast for governor within the political unit at the last gubernatorial election, or a fixed total established by statute, whichever is less.[13]

Nominating petitions must be submitted to the appropriate county board of elections, with the following exceptions:[8]

  • If the political unit of the office being sought lies entirely within New York City, the petition must be filed with the city board of elections.
  • If the political unit of the office being sought comprises more than one county or portions of two or more counties, the petition must be filed with the New York State Board of Elections.

According to New York election law, "A petition for an independent nomination for an office to be filled at the time of a general election shall be filed not earlier than twenty-four weeks and not later than twenty-three weeks preceding such election.”[9] A certificate of acceptance or declination of an independent nomination for an office that will be filled in the general election must be filed by the third day after the deadline for nominating petitions.[9]

Write-in candidates

A write-in candidate for president or vice-president must file a certificate of candidacy with the New York State Board of Elections. Write-in candidates for other federal or state offices do not have to submit any filing paperwork.[14]

Redistricting following the 2020 census

State Assembly districts
New York enacted new state Assembly district boundaries on April 24, 2023, when Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) signed legislation establishing them for use starting with the 2024 elections.[17] The bill adopting the districts passed earlier that day in the state Assembly by a vote of 132-13, and it passed the state Senate by a vote of 59-1.[18][19] The legislation stated, "Vacancies in the Assembly will be filled using existing boundaries until January 1, 2025, at which time vacancies will be filled using the new boundaries."[20]

The state redrew its Assembly district boundaries in response to a June 10, 2022, decision by the appellate division of the New York Supreme Court in Nichols v. Hochul.[21] That court upheld a lower court ruling that declared the state's Assembly district boundaries invalid but determined that they should still be used for the 2022 legislative elections since the lawsuit challenging them was filed too close to those elections for the courts to intervene.[22] The appellate division ruling determined that the Assembly district map was enacted in violation of the state's constitutional redistricting process and ordered a New York City-based state trial court to oversee the redrawing of boundaries for the 2024 elections.[22] On September 29, 2022, that trial court directed the IRC to "initiate the constitutional process for amending the assembly district map based on the 2020 census data by formulating a proposed assembly map" and submit such a plan to the legislature by April 28, 2023.[23]

Footnotes

  1. Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
  2. Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
