There\u2019s another major Democratic clash in NY-10, where incumbent Dan Goldman is facing a challenge from former Comptroller and council member Brad Lander. Like in NY-7, both candidates are progressives, but Goldman is backed by<\/a> more centrist Democrats \u2014 like Gov. Kathy Hochul and U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries \u2014 while Lander has been endorsed by Mamdani and the Working Families party.\u00a0<\/p>\n In Assembly District 46, Democrats Chris McCreight and Joseph Santangelo are battling for the chance to face off against incumbent Republican Alec Brook-Krasny, who flipped the formerly-blue district as part of a \u201cRed Wave<\/a>\u201d in 2022.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Two other longtime Assembly Members, Stefani L. Zinerman in AD56 and Jaime Williams in AD59, are facing challenges from progressives.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n Retail worker and Democratic Socialist Eon Huntley is running against Zinerman, and has picked up support from local council member Chi Oss\u00e9 and the Working Families Party.WFP is also supporting community activist Jibreel Jalloh in his campaign to unseat Williams in AD59.\u00a0<\/p>\n Here\u2019s everything you need to know about how and when to vote and who\u2019s running in each race!\n<\/p>\n When and how can I vote in the primary?<\/p>\n New York has closed primaries, meaning only registered voters can take part. The deadline to vote by mail is June 13, but you have until June 22 to register in-person at your county Board of Elections office. You can find all the application materials \u2014 plus links to register online or confirm your registration status \u2014 on the BOE website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Any registered voter can apply to vote early by mail or to vote absentee, depending on your circumstances. You can request<\/a> an early or absentee ballot online by mail by June 14, or in-person by June 23. If you do vote by mail, make sure your ballot is postmarked no later than June 23, or bring it to an early voting site, your regular poll site, or the county board of elections by the time voting closes on June 23.\u00a0<\/p>\n Early voting starts on Saturday, June 13, and runs through Sunday, June 21. On June 13-15 and June 19-21, early voting sites will be open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. They\u2019re open 10 a.m.-8 p.m. on June 16 and 17, and from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. on June 18.\u00a0<\/p>\n Early voting sites are usually different from election day polling sites and may have changed since last year. You can enter your address on the BOE website<\/a> to locate your early voting site!\u00a0<\/p>\n Voting on Election Day<\/p>\n Primary Election Day 2026 is Tuesday, June 13. That day, polls are open from 6 a.m.-9 p.m., and you have a right to vote if you\u2019re still in line when the polls close! You have to vote at your assigned polling place on Election Day, and you can easily locate it online via the BOE.\u00a0<\/p>\n If you have more questions or any issues, you can call the Board of Elections at 866-868-3692.\n<\/p>\n Who\u2019s on the ballot?<\/p>\n There are a ton of races going on across Brooklyn in this Primary Election, but which ones you\u2019ll participate in depend on which Congressional and state Assembly and Senate districts you\u2019re in. We\u2019ve assembled a full list of races and candidates \u2014 with links to their websites \u2014 below. The Board of Elections offers sample ballots<\/a> online so you can confirm who\u2019s on your ballot!\u00a0<\/p>\n All of the primaries in Brooklyn this year are Democratic except for one, the Republican primary in state Senate District 22. That doesn\u2019t mean Republicans won\u2019t appear on the ballot in other districts, just that those Republicans are not facing challengers in the primary.\u00a0<\/p>\n State Comptroller:\u00a0\n<\/p>\n HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:<\/p>\n NY-7 \u2013 Bushwick, Clinton Hill, Downtown Brooklyn, East New York, Williamsburg, Fort Greene, Greenpoint and parts of Queens\n<\/p>\n NY-9 \u2013 Crown Heights, Prospect Lefferts-Gardens, Flatbush, East Flatbush, Midwood, Kensington, Sheepshead Bay<\/p>\n NY-10 \u2013 Dumbo, Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Red Hook, Gowanus, Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Sunset Park, parts of Borough Park and Bay Ridge and lower Manhattan<\/p>\n NY-11 \u2013 Bay Ridge, Fort Hamilton, Dyker Heights, Bath Beach, Bensonhurst and Staten Island<\/p>\n STATE SENATE:<\/p>\n SD-12 \u2013 Bushwick, parts of Queens\n<\/p>\n SD-23 \u2013 Gravesend, Sheepshead Bay, Coney Island, Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach, Seagate, Staten Island\u00a0<\/p>\n Republican state Senate Primary:<\/p>\n SD-22 \u2013 Midwood, Borough Park, Madison, Homecrest, Gravesend, Sheepshead Bay, Marine Park\n<\/p>\n STATE ASSEMBLY<\/p>\n AD-43 \u2013 Crown Heights, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Flatbush\n<\/p>\n AD-46 \u2013 Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Fort Hamilton, Bath Beach, Sea Gate, Coney Island, Brighton Beach<\/p>\n AD-50 \u2013 Greenpoint, Williamsburg<\/p>\n AD-52 \u2013 Brooklyn Navy Yard, Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Gowanus, Park Slope, Prospect Heights<\/p>\n AD-54 \u2013 Bushwick, Cypress Hills, East New York<\/p>\n AD-56 \u2013 Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights<\/p>\n AD-57 \u2013 Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, parts of Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights<\/p>\n AD-59 \u2013 Canarsie, Flatlands, Georgetown, Mill Basin, Marine Park, Bergen Beach, Gerrittsen Beach<\/p>\n JUDGESHIPS<\/p>\n Judge of the Civil Court, 6th Municipal District\n<\/p>\n Judge of the Civil Court, 8th Municipal District<\/p>\n You can read more about each judicial candidate from Brooklyn Paper\u2019s sister publication amNewYork<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n There are also dozens of candidates running for State Committee, County Committee and as Judicial Delegates.\n<\/p>\n State and County committees are both part of the larger Democratic party structure. Brooklyn\u2019s County Committee is the Brooklyn Democratic Party<\/a>, and County Committee members<\/a> vote on the party\u2019s Executive Committee and on certain resolutions, and can help choose candidates running in special elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n State Committee members are part of the New York State Democrats<\/a>. State Committee members attend and participate<\/a> in party conventions, support candidates chosen by their parties, and liaise between community members and government officials.\u00a0<\/p>\n Judicial delegates attend Judicial Nominating Conventions to select candidates for state Supreme Court. There are also elections for alternate judicial delegates.\u00a0<\/p>\n There are many candidates for State and County committee and Judicial Delegate in different districts across Brooklyn. The easiest way to find out if one of those elections is happening in your district \u2014 and to get a full list of candidates \u2014 is to head to the NYC BOE website<\/a> and enter your address to get a sample ballot.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The June 23 primary election is coming up fast, with early voting kicking off on June 13, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":264811,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[46849,2898,8069,98,100,99,9440,5320,8972,7496,416,65734,102587,13305,9,24,49,17566,12,370,63,8004,87,41113,856,9656,102588],"class_list":["post-264810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-2026-primary-election","tag-antonio-reynoso","tag-brad-lander","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-claire-valdez","tag-dan-goldman","tag-early-voting","tag-election-day","tag-elections","tag-guide","tag-how-to-vote","tag-midterm-elections","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-assembly","tag-news","tag-newsletter","tag-nyc","tag-nydia-velazquez","tag-politics","tag-primary-election","tag-state-senate","tag-voter-guide","tag-where-to-vote"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264810\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"valdez](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/valdez-reynoso-side-by-side-guide.jpg\")
