The 2010 congressional elections in New York were held on November 2, 2010[1] to determine representation from the state of New York in the United States House of Representatives. New York had 29 seats in the House.[2] Representatives are elected to two-year terms.[3]
The election marked the first time that New York used electronic voting,[4] as the state was the last to implement the process under the Help America Vote Act. Democrats had gained an additional seat in a 2009 special election in the 23rd district, bringing Republicans to an all-time low of 2 seats in the New York delegation leading into the election.
Republican candidates prevailed in a total of eight congressional races in New York, while Democratic candidates prevailed in the other 21;[5][6][7] thus, the GOP gained a total of six House seats in New York.[6] The closest race occurred in New York's 1st congressional district, where Republican candidate Randy Altschuler did not concede to Democratic incumbent Congressman Tim Bishop until December 8.[6]
