Voter turnout in New York City's primary elections is often tragically low but it doesn't mean these races are unimportant. In fact, local elections like the one on Tuesday have the most impact on voters' everyday lives.
New York City Council terms are normally for four years, but because of a quirk in the New York City charter, the City Council races in 2021 and 2023 year are for two-year terms only. The election to four-year City Council terms will resume in 2025.
We've all been tempted to sit out an election by convincing ourselves one vote doesn't matter that much. But the truth is a single-digit number of votes can have a big impact on federal and local policies. NBCLX political editor Noah Pransky looks back at several elections where only a few votes made a big difference.Bronx and Queens residents will get to vote in the District Attorney primary races, which will not use ranked-choice voting.
For more information on what's on the ballot, the New York Public Library held an information session last week to inform New Yorkers:The method gives voters the option of ranking candidates on the ballot in order of their preference — one for their top choice, two for their second choice, and so on — rather than cast a single vote for one person.
