What races are on the ballot in New York in 2026?

Neither US Senate seat is up; Chuck Schumer's term runs through 2028 and Kirsten Gillibrand's through 2030.
How does New York's primary work?
New York runs closed primaries: only voters enrolled in a party can vote in that party's primary, and party-enrollment changes had to be filed by February 14, 2026 to apply this cycle. The statewide primary takes place on June 23, 2026, with nominees chosen by simple plurality and no runoff, ahead of the November 3 general election.
Why is the 2026 New York Governor race important?
The governorship is New York's top statewide office, and 2026 is the first test of Kathy Hochul's standing since her 2022 win, the closest New York governor's race since 1994. With Republicans not having won statewide since 2002, the contest also measures whether the GOP can end a two-decade statewide drought in a strongly Democratic state.
