Of 808 comparable Suffolk election districts, 187 changed the governor they backed: Lee Zeldin in 2022, then Kathy Hochul or Bruce Blakeman in 2026. 184 went red to blue. 3 went blue to red. The other 621 held. Suffolk mapped 1,070 districts in all. A district is comparable when it kept the same town and number, the 2022 and 2026 shapes overlap by at least 90 percent, and both years had at least 100 votes for the two major-party tickets.
Nassau has not published election-district tables. The Nassau County Board of Elections has posted contest totals for 1,083 of 1,083 precincts, 538,876 ballots, stamped Nov. 5, 2026, 8:50 p.m. ET, unofficial. It has not posted the election-district canvass. This page lights the legislative districts and town offices that flipped, and it will add Nassau’s individual flipped districts when that canvass is published. Nothing here calls a race.

Ghost shapes are the 621 Suffolk districts that held. Electric blue flipped from Zeldin to Hochul. Crimson flipped from Hochul to Blakeman. A place name is the municipality already printed on the county election-district layer.

Tap a lit district
Comparable Suffolk districts are on the map. The ones that flipped are bright. The ones that held are dim. Nassau’s lit shapes are Legislature District 9, Senate District 9, Assembly District 16, and the Town of Hempstead. Nassau’s individual election districts are not drawn, because the Board has not published them.
What share of each Suffolk town flipped
Each bar is the share of that town’s comparable election districts that changed hands in the governor’s race. Brookhaven, Babylon, and Southampton each saw about a third of those districts go from Zeldin to Hochul. Smithtown saw none. East Hampton and Shelter Island also saw none: Hochul already led there.

The median comparable district in Babylon went from Zeldin +21.2 to Hochul +4.7. Huntington’s median went from Zeldin +8.3 to Hochul +1.1. A median is the middle district, not the town added up. Added together, Babylon’s 131 comparable districts went from a Republican two-party lead of 11.0 points to a Democratic lead of 13.3. Huntington’s 151 went from a Republican lead of 5.7 points to a Democratic lead of 4.7. Brookhaven’s 204, added together, are still a 2.1-point Republican lead. Islip’s 161 are essentially tied, a 0.1-point Republican lead. The swing map shows every comparable district, including the ones that moved and did not flip.

Five Nassau offices changed hands
These are the competitive districts and town offices that went from a Republican winner to a Democratic leader. Across the 48 comparable partisan contests checked for this election, none went the other way. Bars are the two-party margin: Democratic share minus Republican share. A hairline on the blue side can still be a real lead. District 9 is 18 votes.
County Legislature District 9 · Mineola and the Herricks corridor
Mineola, East Williston, Garden City Park, Herricks, Manhasset Hills, North Hills, and parts of New Hyde Park, Floral Park, and Williston Park. The only legislature district to change hands. Republicans go from 11–8 to 10–9.

Three countywide vote leads also moved
Governor, Comptroller, and Attorney General were already Democratic offices statewide. What changed is Nassau’s vote in those same offices, from 2022 to this unofficial 2026 snapshot. These three are not extra seats on top of the five offices above.

Not new 2026 flips: NY-03 and NY-04 were already Democratic after 2024, and Assembly District 21 was already a Democratic hold relative to 2024. Their 2026 Nassau leads are on the Nassau district map.

How a flip is counted
The margin in a year is the Democratic two-party votes minus the Republican two-party votes, divided by the sum, in percentage points. In 2022, Hochul is Democratic plus Working Families, and Zeldin is Republican plus Conservative. In 2026 the Suffolk file already combines those lines, and it counts Vote Affordable with Blakeman. Write-ins are in neither year.
A flip means the rounded one-decimal margin changed sign. A tie is not a flip. Moving toward a candidate is not a flip either. On the swing map, 782 comparable districts moved toward Hochul and 26 toward Blakeman. Only 187 of the 808 changed the leader.
The 262 Suffolk districts left off this map failed that test: the shapes overlap by less than 90 percent, a year is under 100 two-party votes, or the district is new since 2022. Their 2026 votes are on the full Suffolk map. They are not estimated here.
Nassau’s five offices use the previous general election for that office: 2025 for the legislature and the Town of Hempstead, 2024 for Senate District 9 and Assembly District 16. The three countywide rows use 2022, because that is the same office. A presidential vote is not treated as another office that flipped.
