Redistricting has made many changes to the voting districts in Saratoga County and it is worthwhile to look at the new maps. We have included links so you can just click on them to see the maps.
The majority of the changes have occurred in the State Senate districts. In the past Saratoga County municipalities were either in the 49th Senate district (Tedisco) or the 43rd Senate district (Jordan). In 2022 Saratoga county municipalities will be either in the 46th the 47th Senate district.
If you look at the map for Senate District 46, you will see it covers the “Northway corridor” of the county as well as Troy, Niskayuna and Schenectady. In 2012, these municipalities were split between Senator Tedisco and Senator Jordan’s districts. In 2022, Senator Tedisco is moving on to the 51st Senate District which no longer covers any Saratoga County municipalities.
The 47th Senate District wraps around the 46th and will join other counties going up to the Canadian border. (Now represented by Sen. Stec). In addition, the City of Mechanicville is split between Senate Districts 46 and 47.
There are also changes in the two Congressional Districts with Congressional District 20 (Tonko) increasing its coverage in Saratoga County as well as parts of Warren County, and Congressional District 21 (Stefanik) retaining the towns of Day, Hadley, Edinburg, Corinth and Saratoga (Town) and a portion of Stillwater.
The four Assembly Districts had smaller changes. Waterford remains in Assembly 108 (McDonald). Assembly 112 ( Walsh) will no longer represent Greenfield which will move to Assembly 114 (Simpson) There are no changes in Saratoga County for Assembly 113 ( Woerner).
These changes occur every ten years based on the census findings. We anticipate there may be some primary contests in June, so check our elections page to see if there is a primary in your town or city.
