It's Primary Day in New York City, and that means it's time for you to march to the polls and do your civic duty.

In NYC, the polls are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. New York has a closed primary system, meaning you must be registered with a political party to vote in the primary. 

New York parties include:

  • Democratic
  • Republican
  • Conservative
  • Working Families
  • Independence
  • Green
Candidates must earn 40 percent of the vote on Primary Day in order to win the nomination outright. Without a 40 percent vote,  a runoff will be held Oct. 1 between the top two vote getters.
