New York Votes

On election night the New York State Board of Elections posts each county's unofficial count as the county reports it. This page reads that count as the state had it at 11:38 p.m. on November 5, 2026, saved from the state's site: the 242 races for Governor, Attorney General, Comptroller, Congress, the State Senate, and the Assembly, county by county, with 12,179 of 13,187 election districts reporting. It calls no races.

• What isn't counted yet. Election night counts leave out absentee, military, and overseas ballots that arrive after Election Day, affidavit ballots, and others that counties count in the following days, and counties certify their results in the weeks after. The state notes that its count does not yet include a significant number of unscanned emergency Election Day ballots from Westchester County. In this count, Westchester shows 0 of its 906 election districts reporting, with 232,847 ballots in the race for Governor already counted there. On the maps, dots mark every county or district where fewer than nine in ten election districts had reported. The state's page for the 23rd Congressional District lists 76 election districts in Allegany County, where its page for Governor lists 38, so that district shows fewer of its election districts reporting than it may have.
• The Democrat and the Republican in a race are the candidates on the Democratic line and on the Republican line. A race with no Democrat or no Republican, or with one candidate on both lines, is uncontested between the parties: the maps show who leads it, hatched, and leave it out of margins and shifts.
• Shares are of the votes for candidates, write-ins included; blank and void ballots are left out. A candidate's votes are the votes on every line they ran on.
• The margin is the Democrat's share minus the Republican's, in points: D+19.6 means the Democrat's share was 19.6 points larger. Shifts and gaps are worked out before rounding, so one can differ by 0.1 from the difference between two rounded margins.
• The shift is this year's margin minus the margin in the same place before, only where both races had a Democrat and a Republican: Governor in 2026 against Governor in 2022 and against President in 2024, and the Attorney General and Comptroller against the same races in 2022, county by county; and Congress, the State Senate, and the Assembly against the same district's race in 2024, and the State Senate also against 2022. The 2022 races for Congress and the Assembly are left out, because those districts were drawn again for 2024; the State Senate's have not changed since 2022.
• The smaller line against the major line compares two of a candidate's lines between two races in the same place: the Democratic and Working Families lines, and the Republican and Conservative lines. Each line's growth is the change in its share of the votes for candidates, as a fraction of its share in the earlier race. The comparison is the smaller line's growth against the major line's: one plus the smaller line's growth, divided by one plus the major line's, minus one, which is also the change in the ratio of the smaller line's votes to the major line's. Above zero, the smaller line grew faster than the major line, or shrank less; below zero, it lagged; within half a percent of zero, the page says the two lines kept pace. The map's steps are the same size each way as ratios, so a halving of the ratio mirrors a doubling, and the two pairs of lines share one set of steps for each race and earlier race. A place is compared only where both races were contested between the parties, as for the margins and shifts, since a race without a candidate of the other party changes who votes in it and on which line; and where one candidate held both lines of the pair in each race (not necessarily the same person in both races: Governor 2026 against President 2024 sets Hochul's lines beside Harris's, and Blakeman's beside Trump's), with votes on the major line in both races and on the smaller line in the earlier one. Everywhere else the map is hatched, and a place's tip says why it isn't compared. Blakeman's third line, Vote Affordable (39,902 votes), is not part of either pair, though it counts among Blakeman's votes when the Conservative line's share of them is given. The smaller line's share of a candidate's votes counts every line the candidate ran on, so where a candidate in either race also ran on a third line, that share can move the other way from the comparison. For Congress and the Legislature, the districts whose counts are partial stay on the map, the chart, and the table, but are left out of the finding's figures unless every district compared is partial. Where a count is partial, the comparison may change as the ballots are counted, and the 2026 figures are the state's unofficial count as of 11:38 p.m. on November 5, 2026.
• The Working Families share is the votes on the Working Families Party (WFP) line as a share of all the votes for the candidate on that line, almost always the Democrat. The Conservative share is the same for the Conservative line, almost always the Republican's. Where a line ran a candidate of its own, on no other line, the page gives that candidate's share of the vote instead.
• Turnout is the votes for Governor, candidates and write-ins, per citizen of voting age (the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 estimate, for both years), so it reads the same in 2022 and 2026. For 2026 the page also shows every ballot in the race for Governor, blank and void included, per active registered voter, as the state counts them; a district's panel does the same with the ballots in its own race.
• Who lives there comes from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey for 2020 to 2024, for each county and district, and its special count of citizens of voting age for the same years.
• Comparisons with who lives in a place describe places, not voters. A county with many renters and low turnout does not show that its renters stayed home.
• Left out of comparisons. The 2024 race for the 9th Senate District: the state's export shows 135,971 ballots in this race, about 29,500 fewer than the Assembly races in the same places (Nassau County's Senate races together come up 32,250 ballots short of its presidential race), so its 2024 numbers are left out of comparisons.

The 2022 county totals for Governor, Attorney General, and Comptroller come from Benjamin Rosenblatt's file of every 2022 election district in the state, added up by county; for Governor they come within a dozen votes of the state's certified total on each line. The district maps are the ones in use since 2024 (Congress and the Assembly) and 2022 (the State Senate). The results file was last built November 6, 2026.
