The 2020 New York State Senate elections were held on November 3, 2020, to elect representatives from all 63 State Senate districts across the U.S. state of New York.[1] Primary elections were held on June 23, 2020.[2]
Prior to the 2020 elections, Democrats held 40 seats in the State Senate, while Republicans held 20 seats and three other seats were vacant.[3] In 2018, Democrats won their greatest share of New York State Senate seats since 1912.[4]
Senate Democrats increased their majority by three seats, flipping five seats from Republican to Democrat while Republicans flipped two seats from Democrat to Republican. This gave Democrats their largest seat share in history, and they acquired a 2/3 supermajority.[5]
