A map of New York's congressional districts in use from the 2024 elections.

The U.S. state of New York contains 26 congressional districts. Each district elects one member of the United States House of Representatives to represent it.[1]

The state was redistricted in 2022, following the 2020 U.S. census. It lost one seat in Congress.[2] According to CNN, unnamed census officials stated that if 89 more people had been counted in New York's census results, and all other states' population figures had remained the same, New York would not have lost a congressional seat.[3]

Current districts and representatives

[edit]

The list below shows the members of the United States House delegation from New York, along with district boundaries and district CPVI ratings. As of April 2024, New York is represented by 26 members of Congress, including sixteen Democrats and ten Republicans.[4]

Following the New York Court of Appeals' December 2023 decision in Hoffman v New York State Ind. Redistricting. Commn.,[8] the New York State Legislature drew new congressional district maps to be used beginning in the 2024 elections.[9][10]
