The 1931 New York City aldermanic election took place on November 3 to elect the 65 members of the New York City Board of Aldermen. Republicans lost three of their four seats on the Board, all of which were located in Manhattan.[1] In 21 of Brooklyn's 24 districts the vote was better than two to one for Democratic candidates, better than six to one for Democratic candidate William O'Reilly in the 38th district.[1]
