The U.S. state of New York currently comprises 26 congressional districts. Each district elects one member of the United States House of Representatives who sits on its behalf. The state was redistricted in 2022, following the 2020 U.S. census; it lost one seat in Congress. The loss of a congressional seat was decided by a remarkably close margin in the census count; it was believed that if 89 more people were counted in the census results and all other state populations remained stagnant, New York would have kept its lost seat.
