This year, it’s all about the House of Representatives, currently controlled by Republicans. Democrats have a chance to flip the balance of power, and some New York and New Jersey districts will have a huge impact.
Early voting ends on June 21. The polls are open from 6 a.m.to 9 p.m. on June 23. Here’s everything you need to know before heading to the polls.
How to find a polling location?
For your ballot to count, you need to vote at your specified polling location. If the poll worker can’t find you in the system but you believe you’re registered, you can submit an affidavit ballot. Your Election Day polling site will be different from your early voting location.

Vote by mail
Every New York City voter is eligible to vote by mail. The deadline to request a mail ballot has already passed; it’s always 10 days before the election.
You can return your mail-in ballot at any poll site or Board of Elections office by Election Day. Mailed ballots must be postmarked by Election Day.
What’s on the ballot?
Because this is a primary election, you must be registered with a major party to vote: Democrat, Republican, Conservative, or Working Families. Voters will only weigh in on candidates from their own party.
The following state and federal offices are up for grabs:
Congress, House of Representatives
