Overview Record

How this race works

How the vote works: Voting is on Nov. 3, 2026. The ballot listing comes from the Board of Elections' contest list printed Sept. 11, 2026, which is marked tentative and subject to change.
What the court does: The Civil Court decides lawsuits to recover money or property worth up to $50,000 and landlord cases to regain possession of property and remove tenants. It is a trial court, bound by state law and the precedents of higher courts.
Term: Civil Court judges are elected to 10-year terms.
Why candidates take no positions: New York's judicial conduct rules bar judges and candidates for elective judicial office from making pledges or promises of conduct in office, or commitments about cases, controversies or issues likely to come before the court, that are inconsistent with impartially performing their duties as judges (22 NYCRR 100.5(A)(4)(d)).
