New York is a Closed Primary–What You Need to Know
Don’t forget, New York’s April 19th elections are closed primaries. This means that in order to participate in this election, you must be a registered member of the party whose primary race you wish to participate in.
Only registered Republicans may cast a vote for the Republican nominee and only registered Democrats may cast a vote for the Democratic nominee. Registered Democrats will also be asked to vote for five to seven district delegates.
The deadline to register for next month’s primary is March 25th. Follow the link on our homepage to find out if you’re registered. To request that a voter registration form be mailed to you, call 1-800-FOR-VOTE or download the form here.
