Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in New York in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 22, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Fifty-one of the 191 New York state legislators who filed to run for re-election in 2022—46 Democrats and five Republicans—faced contested primaries. That equals 27% of incumbents who filed for re-election, an increase from previous election cycles. The remaining 73% of incumbents did not face primary challengers.

A contested primary is one where more candidates run than nominations available, meaning at least one candidate must lose.

The total number of contested primaries—including those without incumbents—also increased compared to recent election cycles. With 213 districts, there were 426 possible primaries every election cycle.

In 2022, there were 75 contested primaries (18%): 60 Democratic primaries and 15 for Republicans. For Democrats, this was up from 53 in 2020, a 13% increase. For Republicans, the number increased 150% to 15 compared to six contested primaries in 2020.

New York allows fusion voting, where more than one political party can support a common candidate. It is common for candidates to seek both major and third-party nominations. Under this system, if a candidate loses one primary but wins another, he or she may appear on the general election ballot with the nomination of the party won.

New York held two separate primary elections in 2022 due to delays caused by redistricting. Primaries in the 150 Assembly districts took place on June 28. The 63 Senate districts held primaries on August 23.

Across both chambers, 25 of those districts were left open, meaning no incumbents filed to run, a decrease from the 33 open districts in 2020 but up from the 18 in 2018.

Overall, 468 major party candidates filed to run this year: 291 Democrats and 177 Republicans.

Open seats

The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the New York State Senate from 2010 to 2022.[2] It will be updated as information becomes available following the state’s candidate filing deadline.

Open Seats in New York State Senate elections: 2010 - 2022
Year Total seats Open seats Seats with incumbents running for re-election
2022 63 11 (17 percent) 52 (83 percent)
2020 63 12 (19 percent) 51 (81 percent)
2018 63 5 (8 percent) 58 (92 percent)
2016 63 5 (8 percent) 58 (92 percent)
2014 63 3 (5 percent) 60 (95 percent)
2012 63 2 (3 percent) 61 (97 percent)
2010 63 5 (8 percent) 58 (92 percent)

Incumbents running in new districts

When an incumbent files to run for re-election in the same chamber but a new district, it leaves his or her original seat open. This may happen for a variety of reasons ranging from redistricting to a change in residences. This may result in instances where multiple incumbents face each other in contested primaries or general elections if the incumbent in the new district also seeks re-election.

In 2022, 17 incumbents filed to run for re-election in new districts different from those they represented before the election. Click [show] on the table below to view those incumbents.

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 10th Monday and ninth Tuesday prior to the primary election. 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 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.[16] 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.[17][18] The original districts that were used for the 2022 elections remain in use until the next elections and the new districts adopted in 2023 will be used for state Assembly elections starting in 2024 until the state conducts redistricting after the 2030 census. The legislation's language states that "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."[19]

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.[20] 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.[21] 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.[21] 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.[22]

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.
