What You Need to Know about the June 25 New York Primaries

On June 25, New Yorkers will be hitting the polls once again to vote in New York state primaries. 

Though it may feel like you just cast your vote on April 2 in the presidential primaries, the upcoming June 25 primaries are another important opportunity to make your voice heard on a more local level.

Why is it important to vote on June 25 and who will be on my ballot this time around?

For New York’s second primary of the year, all state-level seats for the State Assembly and Senate will be up on the ballot, as well as Congressional contests. This means June 25 is an important opportunity to decide who will represent you and your community’s needs.

You can receive a sample ballot—which includes the offices and candidates that will be on your ballot on voting day—at the Board of Elections website. 

If you would like more information about the candidates that will be on your ballot, NYC Votes offers a "What's on the Ballot?" resource. Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs also offers a candidate overview at whosontheballot.org. Both of these resources are normally updated as election day approaches, but individual research on candidates is encouraged.
