New York’s Primary Election is coming up on Tuesday, June 24th. There are many significant races happening this year, including the ones for City Council, Comptroller, Public Advocate, Borough President, and Mayor. 
 
If you’d rather cast your ballot before the big day, early voting runs from June 14th through June 22nd, and you can visit vote.nyc to find more information about how to vote, and to locate your polling place.
 
In the meantime, if you want to learn more about the candidates who are running in the election, you can check out 
our Election Primer. This guide offers a comprehensive look at all of the candidates who will appear on the ballot this June, as well as bios for many of them.
 
And for a deeper look into some of this year’s City Council candidates, you can head to our Instagram, where we recently debuted a new video series, Reel Talk. In these videos, you can watch many of the City Council candidates introduce themselves, explaining the issues that are most important to them in their own words. 
 
We want to help you make an informed decision on Election Day, and both our Meet the Candidates page and our Reel Talk videos are here to help you do that.
 
This month’s primary will be followed by the General Election, which will take place on Tuesday, November 4th, 2025.
