Suffolk’s results timestamp is November 4, 2026, 12:24:42 a.m. ET. The saved files were checked November 6, 2026, 9:55:42 p.m. ET, and that timestamp had not moved. Nassau’s report stamp is November 5, 2026, 8:50:53 p.m. ET. The file was last modified November 5, 2026, 9:21:02 p.m. ET and fetched November 6, 2026, 9:56:48 p.m. ET. Nothing on this page is a count after those snapshots. No race is called.

Who it was
These published returns do not identify recipients. Suffolk’s write-in option is the generic line “Write-In”. Nassau’s is “Write-in”. A missing name is not a zero, and a write-in total is not a total for any campaign.
News reports were checked November 6, 2026 at 10:28:30 p.m. ET (News 12, Patch); November 6, 2026 at 10:28:31 p.m. ET (South Shore Press, The East Hampton Star). They are context, not a canvass.
Suffolk County Clerk: News 12 reported that “Cutchogue attorney Abigail Field is running a write-in campaign for Suffolk County clerk,” and that “Christian Padgett, another write-in candidate who says he represents the Libertarian Party,” was also running. Patch reported that incumbent Vincent Puleo “faced off against two write-in challengers, Christian Padgett and Abigail Field.” South Shore Press described a write-in campaign for Abigail Field. This page does not assign any of the 43,343 clerk write-in votes to a named person.
East Hampton supervisor: The East Hampton Star reported a write-in campaign for East Hampton Mayor Jerry Larsen, and wrote:
The names written in on the ballot are not provided until results are finalized.
That sentence is the newspaper’s, about that town. It is not a date for certification, and it is not a vote total for Jerry Larsen. Committee dollars for a Larsen write-in effort are a different record: the East Hampton money page and the Hamptons supervisor graphic. Dollars are not votes.
Suffolk County · election districts
Suffolk, ranked by election district
The map colors each Suffolk election district for the contest you pick. Nassau is not on this map. A larger shape is a larger piece of land, not more write-ins.
A bigger polygon is not more votes. The color is the write-in count, or the write-in rate, for that district in the contest you picked. It is not turnout, not population, and not the size of the district. Gray means the district is outside this contest. A pale district with a number can be a measured zero. Those are different. Districts under 100 contest votes are not given a rate color. The three not-reported districts keep a hatched outline even when the file prints a number for them. Those numbers stay in the published total.

Towns in this contest
County Clerk is the countywide contest with the most write-ins: 43,343 of 378,321 contest votes (11.46%). Vincent A. Puleo is the only named candidate on that ballot, with 334,978 votes on the Republican and Conservative lines combined. The write-in line is separate and unnamed.
The highest counts are Southold 018 (146 of 662), Southold 015 (139 of 521), Southold 002 (138 of 378), Southold 009 (136 of 674), then Brookhaven 223 and Islip 017, tied at 134. The highest rate among election districts with at least 100 contest votes is Islip 175, 78 of 188 (41.49%).
East Hampton supervisor: 2,541 of 9,205 (27.60%) across 19 election districts. Kathee Burke-Gonzalez is the only named candidate on the ballot, with 6,664. Governor: 711 write-ins of 538,227 contest votes. The most in one election district is 7, a tie between East Hampton 011 and Southold 013. That is a small count.
Not every contest has 1,070 election districts. The county file has 1,070 unique election districts and 12,736 contest rows, not 40 × 1,070. A town or district contest lists only its own election districts. An election district that is absent is outside that contest. It is not a zero. Countywide contests list all 1,070. Of those, 1,067 are partially reported and 3 are not reported: Brookhaven 057, Islip 008, Southold 001. The breakdown still prints vote numbers for those three. The printed numbers are included in the contest totals and marked “Not reported” below. A printed zero stays a zero.
Rate = write-ins ÷ contest votes in that election district. Rate rank starts at 100 contest votes. The denominator is printed next to every rate. Without that floor, Islip 220 would lead the County Clerk rate list at 2 write-ins out of 2 contest votes. Under-votes and over-votes are null in this file, so they are not in the denominator. Suffolk’s election file has ballotsCast set to 0, so this page does not invent a county ballot total. On a vote-for-several contest, contest votes are candidate vote marks, not ballots and not voters. Do not compare that rate with a vote-for-1 rate as if both were shares of the same ballots.

Bars in this list use each contest’s own write-in count. They are not a claim that a multi-seat contest and a vote-for-1 contest measure the same thing.

Nassau County · contest totals
Nassau, ranked by contest
No election-district ranking. The Nassau report is contest totals. It does not publish a write-in count by election district, so this section does not invent one and it does not draw an election-district map.
The report header, repeated on each page, says 538,876 ballots and 1083 of 1083 precincts. That header is the whole report. It is not a precinct count for each contest. Supreme Court is the largest write-in line: 3,446, the sum of eight lines (588, 746, 316, 684, 280, 275, 274, 283), vote for 8, out of 3,833,393 contest votes. Family Court, vote for 2, is 1,671 (895 + 776). District Court District 2, vote for 3, is 1,179 (406 + 379 + 394). Governor is 619 of 533,398. Congressional District 3, Nassau portion, is 525 of 203,553.
Multi-seat contests print one write-in line per seat. This page adds those lines. It does not keep only the first line. Named candidates already have a total; their party lines are inside that total and are not added again. Assembly District 11 prints 0 write-ins. That zero is shown. A contest that had printed no write-in line at all would be missing, not zero. Every contest in this file printed a write-in line.

Nassau results map · Nassau BOE report. The map is a separate page. It is not an election-district write-in ranking.
Same office, two county files
Where both counties published the same statewide or numbered district office, both write-in totals are shown. They are not added. Adding Suffolk and Nassau does not produce a full district total. Other counties are not in these two files. Congressional District 3 is a Suffolk portion plus a Nassau portion, not a finished district. Family Court, county clerk, town offices, and legislative districts that exist in only one county are left in that county’s section.

How the counts were checked
Suffolk write-ins are the official “Write-In” option on each contest, summed from that contest’s election-district breakdown and checked against the contest summary. For all 40 contests the summary write-in total equals the sum of the election-district write-in lines, and the summary contest votes equal the sum of the election-district contest votes. That includes the three precincts the county rollup marks not reported. There is no leftover to hide.
Ranks are competition ranks: a tie shares a rank and the next rank skips. Ties are ordered by election-district name, so Brookhaven 223 ranks beside Islip 017 at 134 write-ins and both are rank 5. The next count is rank 7. Rate rank uses the same rule on the exact fraction write-ins ÷ contest votes, and only for election districts with at least 100 contest votes.
Nassau lines were read from the saved results HTML. Candidate totals were checked against the printed contest total: named candidate totals plus every write-in line equal the printed Total on all 53 contests. Party sub-lines equal the candidate total where they are printed. They are not a second set of votes.
A research pass said Suffolk had 1,070 election districts for every contest. The files do not. It also stamped 1,083 of 1,083 on every Nassau contest. That figure is the report header. Keeping only the first Nassau write-in line would undercount Supreme Court as 588, Family Court as 895, and District Court District 2 as 406. The sums are 3,446, 1,671, and 1,179.
Sources, clocks, and what is not claimed
Suffolk results are the public page https://app.enhancedvoting.com/results/public/suffolk-county-ny/elections/GE2026_20261028145605. The results timestamp is November 4, 2026, 12:24:42 a.m. ET. The saved files were checked November 6, 2026, 9:55:42 p.m. ET, and the ballot-item list at November 6, 2026, 9:55:46 p.m. ET. The file says the results are not official. Nothing on this page is a count after that snapshot, and no race is called.
Nassau results are the public page https://app.nassaucountyny.gov/BOE/results/election2.html. The report stamp is November 5, 2026, 8:50:53 p.m. ET. The file was last modified November 5, 2026, 9:21:02 p.m. ET and fetched November 6, 2026, 9:56:48 p.m. ET. The header says 538,876 ballots and 1083 of 1083 precincts. That header is the whole report, not a precinct count for each contest.
News reports were checked November 6, 2026 at 10:28:30 p.m. ET (News 12, Patch); November 6, 2026 at 10:28:31 p.m. ET (South Shore Press, The East Hampton Star). They are context, not a canvass. The check date is America/New_York. Each source line also prints the server HTTP Date, which is GMT and can name the next calendar day.
This page's own calendar date is 2026-11-06 in America/New_York. That date is separate from the result timestamps above. A certification date is not stated, because these files do not give one.
The arithmetic
Suffolk has 40 contests, 1,070 unique election districts, and 12,736 election-district by contest rows. Nassau has 53 contests and no election-district rows.
A contest total is the sum of the candidate lines in that contest, including every write-in line. For a vote-for-several contest those are candidate vote marks, not ballots and not voters. Blank ballots, void ballots, over-votes, and under-votes are not in the denominator, because this snapshot does not publish them. Suffolk's ballotsCast field is 0, so no county ballot total is invented.
The displayed percent is 100 times write-ins divided by contest marks, rounded half up to two decimals. Ranks do not use that rounded percent. A count rank sorts the write-in count. A rate rank sorts the exact fraction write-ins divided by contest marks. A tie shares a rank and the next rank skips, so two districts tied for first produce ranks 1, 1, 3. Tied districts are listed by name.
Rate rank starts at 100 contest votes. Without that floor, Islip 220 would lead the County Clerk rate list at 2 write-ins out of 2 contest votes. A district under the floor is left unranked. It is not entered as zero and it is not given a rate color on the map.
An election district missing from a contest is outside that contest. It is not stored as zero. A printed zero stays a zero. The three not-reported districts are Brookhaven 057, Islip 008, Southold 001. The breakdown still prints numbers for them, those numbers stay in the published totals, and the map hatches them.
Nassau prints one write-in line per seat. The lines are added. Supreme Court is 3,446, the sum of eight lines. Family Court is 1,671. District Court District 2 is 1,179. Keeping only the first line would be a smaller and wrong number. Named candidates already include their party lines, and those party lines are not added again.
A district contest uses only the election districts in that contest's file. Congressional District 3 in these files is a Suffolk portion and, separately, a Nassau portion. The two are not added. There is no step that removes a person who wrote in for more than one office, because these rows are contest marks, not identified voters.
These published returns do not identify recipients. A missing name is not a zero. News reports are context, not a canvass, and no total on this page is assigned to a named person.
The map join
The polygons are the file already used by the Suffolk results map and the swing map: site/results/mapdata/suffolk-eds.geojson. The results-map record says they were saved 2026-11-04T09:29 from Suffolk County GIS, Election Districts layer. The same record's results clock is 2026-11-04T05:24:37.9924553Z. This page did not download a new boundary. The saved file does not include a separate revision date for the GIS layer, so that date is not stated.
A polygon joins a results row only when the town and the election-district number both match. The geometry name Brookhaven ED# 235 has the key brookhaven|235. The results name Brookhaven 235 has the same key. The number 235 alone is not used, because more than one town has a district 235. The GIS field MUNICIPALITY is a hamlet or village, such as Farmingville, and it is not the town.
The join audit matched 1070 result districts to 1070 polygons. Unmatched result districts: 0. Unmatched polygons: 0. Duplicate polygon keys: 0. The build stops if any of those are not zero, rather than dropping a district or painting it as zero.
On the map, gray means outside the selected contest. A pale district can be a measured zero. A hatched outline means not reported. In rate mode, a district with fewer than 100 contest votes keeps a separate color and is not treated as a high rate or as a zero. The color bins are nearest-rank quarters of the positive values in that contest. The upper edge is included in the bin. The same edges are in the legend and in the downloadable data.
Congressional, senate, assembly, and town codes on the polygon are not used to decide eligibility. The contest's own rows do that. Nassau published no election-district file, so Nassau has contest bars and no election-district map. No Nassau number is spread across a shape.
