New York Primary Election Results
New York’s Primary Election was held on Tuesday, June 25, with early voting beginning Saturday, June 15. Roughly 100,000 voters participated in early voting across the state. All 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are up for reelection in November, including the 26 across New York state – several of which featured competitive primaries. All 150 State Assembly and 63 State Senate seats are up for reelection this year as well, with a number of primaries that were settled on Tuesday.
Please note all election results listed below include early vote totals, election day votes, as well as any absentee ballots that were received by the board of elections and canvassed. Recent changes to Election Law now require the canvassing of absentee ballots on a rolling basis beginning within 4 days of receipt. This process began on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, to the extent ballots were received. On or after Election Day, the canvass will be conducted within one day of receipt of a ballot or cure and will continue daily until completed. The Boards of Election will canvass Affidavit Ballots four business days after Election Day. This canvass will take place on Monday, July 1, 2024, and continue daily until completed.
Due to the rolling canvass of absentee and early voting reflected in election night results, the vote totals from election night are more likely than in years past to reflect the final outcome of the election. Despite this, all outcomes are still dependent on the canvassing of all ballots and the below listed results are only as up to date as the Board of Elections canvassing process.

Equal Rights Amendment Back on Ballot After Appeal
The Equal Right Amendment to New York’s Constitution is back on the ballot after the Appeals Court ruled to restore it. The Equal Rights Amendment would expand the constitution’s ban on racial or religious discrimination by listing other protected categories, including sexual orientation and “pregnancy outcomes.”
A Supreme Court judge ruled in May that the legislature voted on the amendment without waiting for a written opinion from the attorney general – as required by the Constitution. In a unanimous reversal, a panel of Appellate Division judges dismissed the case on June 18 on the grounds that it was brought too late, after a four-month statute of limitations had expired. Pending appeal to the Court of Appeals, the amendment will appear on the General Election ballot in November.
