Wow, it has been a wild ride. New York state drew up new congressional districts, then those districts were overturned by a judge, and now we have new new districts. Seneca County is now part of the brand new NY-24 Congressional District. To see a map, check out our Congressional election page.
On top of all that, our Congressman, Tom Reed, resigned. There will be a special election to replace him, but it will take place in the old NY-23 CD. Which includes Seneca County.
So, what does this mean for you? You will have a lot of chances to vote. Let's take them in order.
