It might sound obvious, but the first step to voting in the New York City primaries is to make sure you are eligible.
If you are a United States citizen who has been a New York City resident for at least 30 days, and are not currently incarcerated for a felony, you can vote today — if you registered by the May 28 deadline. Because today’s elections are closed primaries, you also need to be registered with a political party and you can only vote in that party’s primaries.
People who are not U.S. citizens cannot vote in today’s elections. People who are currently incarcerated for felonies cannot vote, but, in May, the state enacted a law automatically restoring voting rights to people convicted of felonies who have been released on parole. Misdemeanor convictions do not affect voting eligibility, and people serving time in jail for misdemeanors can still cast ballots.
The deadline to request an absentee ballot online or by mail, as well as the opportunity to vote early, already passed. Today is the deadline to mail in absentee ballots.
Of course, if you are planning to vote in person, you also need to know where to vote. You can look up your Primary Day polling site online — it may not be the same place as your assigned early voting site.
