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. [15]

Unlike regular elections, which in New York require petitioning, primary and general contests, special elections only require endorsement of the local or county committees of the Democratic, Republican, Conservative, or Working Families parties.
Petitioning by independent candidates is technically permitted, although it is logistically impossible given the truncated timeline of 34 days from proclamation [35] to voting.
