New York’s August Primary: What to know
August 23 is Primary Day for Congressional and State Senate seats
Is your voice being heard?
Voting is a core part of being a union member, but if you are not registered to vote, you don’t have a voice. If you need to register or update your address or party affiliation, CSEA is here to help. Visit cseany.org/vote, or call the New York State Board of Elections’ Voter Registration Hotline at 1-800-FOR-VOTE (1-800-367-8683).
Voting in the August 23 primary is very important, as there are several close races and we can’t afford a low turnout. We have no excuses for not voting. New York makes it very convenient to vote and CSEA has all the information available in one easy spot: cseany.org/vote.
How To Vote:
There are three ways to vote in the August 23 Primary.
