New York must shift its congressional and state senate primaries to August, two days after the state's top court scrapped voting maps it said were unconstitutionally gerrymandered to favor Democrats.
The court hearing was held in Bath, New York.
The state's congressional and state senate primaries must be moved from June 28 to August 23.
New voting maps will be drawn up by May 20 by Jonathan Cervas, the special master of the project.
The New York Court of Appeals ruled that senate district maps drawn by the state's Democrat-controlled legislature were impermissible partisan purpose and had to be discarded.
The NY Court of Appeals threw out congressional maps drawn by Democrats.
