Nassau & Suffolk Judicial Election Results 2026

Every judicial candidate on the Nassau County and Suffolk County general-election ballots. Unofficial counts.

This page is election results, not a directory of every sitting judge. It covers Supreme Court of the 10th Judicial District in both counties, Nassau Family Court and District Court, and Suffolk County Court, Family Court, District Court, and Town Justice. The Nov. 3 reports used here do not include Surrogate’s Court, city court, or village justice contests. Those courts are absent from these reports. That is not a claim that the courts do not exist.
