New York's 25th Congressional District

A dated list of changes to how Americans vote: district maps, polling places and drop boxes, voting laws and rules, and courts and election officials. Each entry says who did what and when, shows what became of it, and links to the page it rests on. Attempts that failed are listed as failed. Entries that rest on a news report name the outlet.

This is the district view: events tagged to this congressional district, then events that apply across New York, then national events. An event is tagged to a district only when its source names that congressional district. See all of New York.

    Steuben County court certifies the special master's 2022 congressional and state Senate maps

    On May 20, 2022, Justice Patrick F. McAllister of the Supreme Court, Steuben County, entered a decision in Harkenrider v. Hochul (Index No. E2022-0116CV). The order states: "ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that the attached maps be, and hereby are certified as being the official approved 2022 Congressional map and the 2022 State Senate map." The maps were drawn by special master Dr. Jonathan Cervas, whose proposed map had been released May 16, 2022; the court said it made "a few minor adjustments" after public comment. It directed LATFOR to check the maps for block-on-border and town-on-border compliance and certify the districts to the State Board of Elections. The court explained it eliminated a congressional district because New York was entitled to 26 districts, not 27.

    Census Bureau proposes residence criteria for the 2030 census that would exclude some noncitizens from the apportionment count

    On September 10, 2026 the Census Bureau, an agency of the Department of Commerce, published a proposed rule in the Federal Register (91 FR 57524, Docket No. 260903-0005, RIN 0607-AA75) that would add two new parts to the Code of Federal Regulations: residence criteria for the decennial census, and standards and restrictions for demographic questions on the census questionnaire. On residence, the notice states that "the Census Bureau proposes to include lawful permanent residents within the apportionment base, while excluding from the apportionment base illegal aliens and aliens whose legal status is less durable and indefinite in length than lawful permanent resident status," and says it is considering using administrative records to determine legal status. The comment period, first set to end October 13, 2026, was extended to November 2, 2026 by a notice published October 5, 2026. Al Jazeera and CNBC reported on the proposal, and CNBC reported that opponents expect litigation.

How this timeline is built

Every entry rests on at least one source that was opened and read, and that source states the date and the fact. Courts, legislatures, election offices, the Justice Department, the Census Bureau, the Federal Register and Congress.gov come first. A news report is used only when no official page states the fact, and it is labeled with the outlet's name. Encyclopedias are not used as sources. History starts in 1965 with the Voting Rights Act. County names come from the Census Bureau's 2024 Gazetteer. Congressional district numbers are those in use for the 2026 election; an event is tagged to a district only when its source names that congressional district.

When a later event changes an earlier one, such as a law later struck down, both entries are listed and point to each other. This page does not predict outcomes or say which party a change helps. U.S. House maps for 2026 · Back to the 2026 voting center.
