Elections will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the 26 U.S. representatives from the state of New York, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections will coincide with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary election took place on June 23, 2026. As the state of New York has closed primary elections, only registered party members are allowed to vote in each party's primary.
Progressive and DSA candidates in New York City had a successful primary night, defeating more establishment and pro-Israel Democratic incumbents in the 10th and 13th districts and winning the open 7th district in a landslide, in what was described as a "clean sweep" and a show of strength for Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America.
Failed redistricting attempt Voters in NY-11 filed a lawsuit in October 2025, claiming the Staten Island-based district illegally dilutes the power of Black and Hispanic voters in the district. Acting New York Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Pearlman ordered the independent redistricting commission to make new maps to reconfigure NY-11 by February 6, 2026. The deadline was suspended after Rep. Malliotakis, who represents the district, appealed the ruling. On March 2, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily blocked Pearlman's order, allowing the state's current map to be used for the 2026 election.
