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.

Footnotes
- ↑ 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.

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.
