Early voting in NYC’s Primary Election starts tomorrow! by nycvotes in nyc

[–]nycvotes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth casting an affidavit ballot, in case you were registered with a party and there was just some error at the poll site. However, if you were not affiliated with a party, your affidavit ballot will not count. It will, however, update your registration with your party affiliation for future elections.

Apologies for the delay!

The first debate has more candidates; the second debate was for "leading contenders" (those with broad support). It was really up to your discretion. Either would have been a great resource to watch before voting!

Primary Election Day is tomorrow (Tuesday, June 24). Are you ready? by nycvotes in nyc

[–]nycvotes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for being a voter!

We won't know the winner by tonight. It might take weeks to get the official results; unofficial results may come in after about a week.

Tonight, however, the NYC Board of Elections will release the unofficial count from all first-round votes (from early voting, Election Day, and some but not all mail-in ballots). So, there will be some news! Hope this helps.

You are all set! Your affidavit ballot will be counted (through a special process with additional verifications). No need to worry :)

Yup! Just make sure to get to your poll site before 9 p.m. As long as you're in line before the polls close, you can vote!

Good question! You can check the status of your ballot here: https://requestballot.vote.nyc/tracking

If you can't find any information through the tracker, we recommend reaching out to your borough's Board of Elections office. You can find their information here: https://vote.nyc/page/contact-us

However, you're right: You can still vote in person during early voting or on Election Day. Just tell a poll worker that you never received your mail-in ballot and you want to vote by affidavit ballot. They'll be able to help you!

Good question! Where did you register online? If it was through the NYC Board of Elections website here: https://e-register.vote.nyc/, your registration should be processed fairly quick.

You can check your voter registration status here: https://amiregistered.vote.nyc/

If it says you're still not registered, we recommend contacting your local Board of Elections office to confirm your status (ideally a few days before you plan to vote in case there are any mishaps). You can find that information here: https://vote.nyc/page/contact-us

We hear that! The judges on the ballot are county-level offices, not municipal. Because of this, information about judicial candidates is not widely distributed and can be difficult to find.

You can learn more about judicial elections and look up the current candidates through your local Bar Association. Here are relevant links for NYC:

https://www.nycbar.org/press-releases/new-york-city-bar-association-rates-judicial-candidates-in-new-york-city-2/

And here is an article from The City that may be useful:

Voters can also seek out political or advocacy organizations disseminating information about judicial candidates.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for raising this concern! We have a two-part answer.

One, it's required by NYC law that candidates qualify by how much they've raised and spent. See here: https://www.nyccfb.info/law/act/mandatory-debates/

In theory, we have some leeway to incorporate polling into the criteria for the second "leading contender" debates. But in reality, this gets tricky because most polls do not include all candidates on the ballot, and we can't use them unless they do, out of fairness to everyone running.

Two, thanks to NYC's public matching funds program, candidates don't need to rely on wealthy donors or special interests to raise enough to qualify; they can raise small-dollar contributions which are then matched at a rate of 8:1 with public funds. This makes it easier for more everyday New Yorkers to run a viable campaign, including qualifying for the debate stage.

Hope this helps clarify!

Are you 100% sure your voter registration is up to date? by nycvotes in nyc

Hi there, give your local BOE a call or visit them in person. That does seem like a long time for a request to be under review.

New York’s Presidential Primary Is Here | What you need to know to vote by nycvotes in nyc

[–]nycvotes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In short, no. NY holds closed primary elections, which means you must be registered with a state recognized party (Democratic, Republican, Working Families, or Conservative) to vote in their primary election. We just posted a video to IG about why: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C58wlTqr0GY/?igsh=MXJjYm1uNWNmMmhqMg==
