After the 2010 census, because of a loss of population, New York State lost 2 Congressional seats and thus new lines were drawn. Elmont, as well as North Valley Stream, South Valley Stream and Inwood, make up the new Congressional District 5 which also includes parts of Queens. Elmont is still covered by Senate Districts 7 and 9. A new Assembly District 22 was drawn which includes Elmont and Valley Stream.
