On June 28, registered voters all across Queens will have the chance to make their voices heard by casting their ballots in the Democratic primaries for several upcoming races, including governor, state assembly and judge of the civil circuit.

The Democratic primaries for congressional and state Senate races were originally going to take place on June 28, but the New York State of Appeals struck down the original map that was written and approved by the Democratic-controlled state Legislature earlier that year. A neutral expert and state judge were then brought in to draw a new map, leading the congressional primaries to be delayed to Aug. 23.
