Voting: The Time To Prepare Is Now
On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, New Yorkers will be voting for president, vice president, senator, members of congress, and state legislators. November 5 may be 10 months away, but the 2024 election season begins now.
“How can that be?” you might wonder. The answer is related to how New York runs its primary elections. Primary elections are used by political parties to choose candidates to run for offices in a general election. The first primary election in New York in 2024 is the Presidential Preference Primary on April 2; the New York State primary election follows on June 25. The candidates who win the Presidential Preference Primary continue on to their party’s conventions; the winners of the New York primary will appear on the ballot in November.
