New York Senate Confirmations

Under the New York State Constitution, the State Senate must provide advice and consent on the Governor’s nominees to powerful positions—judges, agency heads, and key boards and commissions. Unfortunately, the NYS Senate does not publish basic details of these votes, including how individual members voted. 

Because these votes are not published online, Reinvent Albany filed Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests for Senate roll call voting records from 2024 and 2025. Using the voting records received in response to our requests, we released a report, “Transparency Gap: NY Senate Confirmation Votes Kept Behind Two Layers of Obstacles.” 

Using the data analyzed by Reinvent Albany, New Yorkers can see – for the first time – how individual Senators voted on slates in 2024 and 2025, as shown below.
