The primary election is coming up on June 24—it’s time to get ready to vote!

Voters in New York City will help choose this fall's candidates for Mayor, Public Advocate, Comptroller, all five Borough Presidents, and all 51 City Council seats.

Ranked Choice Voting will also be used in the June Primary Election. Ranked Choice Voting is a system of voting in which you can rank up to five candidates in order of preference.

Visit the NYC Board of Elections (BOE) website, NYC Votes, or TurboVote to register to vote.

Take some time to make sure you are registered. If you’re not sure that you are registered to vote, you can check your status here or call 1-866-VOTE-NYC (1-866-868-3692) (TTY-212-487-5496 for the hearing impaired).

All of our library locations have voter registration forms and absentee ballot request forms available for you to pick up.

FAQs About NYC Voting

How do I register to vote?

  • Visit the NYC Board of Elections (BOE) website, NYC Votes, or TurboVote to register to vote online.
  • Visit your local BOE office to register to vote in person.
  • Mail in a registration form. You can pick one up at your local library or local BOE office, or download a form online.
  • If you are experiencing homelessness, you can register and vote. Your home address should be where you stay at night, whether it is a street corner, shelter, or any other location. This decides where you vote. Your mailing address does not have to be your home/residential address, and can be the address of a shelter, outreach center, or other place willing to receive your mail.
  • If you are in jail for a misdemeanor, or you are on probation, you can register and vote. As of May 2021, all New Yorkers who are incarcerated after a felony conviction will have their voting rights automatically restored when they are released from prison. Learn more about your rights.
