Pre-consolidation: Post-consolidation: Pre-consolidation: Post-consolidation: The 1796 United States House of Representatives elections in New York were held on December 15, 1796, to elect ten U.S.

Representatives had been elected in December 1794 to a term in the 4th United States Congress beginning on March 4, 1795.

[1] On December 18, 1792, the Legislature divided the State into ten districts, which were still not numbered, taking into account the new counties created in 1791.

The incumbents Havens, Livingston, Van Cortlandt, Van Alen, Glen and Williams were re-elected; the incumbents Bailey and Cooper were defeated; and John Hathorn and Ezekiel Gilbert did not run for re-election.

After some time both terms got more and more confused, and sometimes used together as "Democratic Republicans" which later historians have adopted (with a hyphen) to describe the party from the beginning, to avoid confusion with both the later established and still existing Democratic and Republican parties.
