Summary by district
† - Incumbent not seeking re-election
Special elections
Several New York State Assembly seats became vacant during the 2024–2026 legislative term due to resignations following election to other offices or acceptance of outside positions. Under New York law, these vacancies are filled by special elections held separately from the regularly scheduled primary and general elections. Candidates in special elections are nominated by county party committees rather than through primary elections.
According to the New York State Board of Elections, special elections to fill Assembly vacancies in Districts 36 and 74 are scheduled for February 2026.[24]
District 115
The 115th Assembly district became vacant after Democratic Assembly Member Billy Jones resigned on August 29, 2025, to accept a position leading Clinton Community College's Institute for Advanced Manufacturing.[25]
A special election was held on November 4, 2025. Plattsburgh Town Supervisor Michael Cashman defeated Republican nominee Brent Davison and was sworn in to serve the remainder of the term.[26]
