Primary Day Voter Guide

It’s Primary Day! If you’re not sure where to go, we’ve compiled this handy voter guide with answers to when, how and where to make your vote count.

When do I vote?
Primary Day is Tuesday, June 26. The most competitive race is the 13th Congressional District, which includes almost the entire Norwood News coverage area, including Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham, Kingsbridge Heights and University Heights.

Where do I vote?

The Board of Elections is still determining polling sites, but should have everything set soon.

  • Find out your polling site is by visiting vote.nyc.ny.us. Click on “poll site locator and sample ballot.” Type in your house number, street address and borough. Click “Search.”
  • Contact the Bronx County Board of Elections at (718) 299-9017 or the Voter Phone Bank at 1 (866) VOTE-NYC.
  • E-mail your home address to vote@boe.nyc.ny.us and put your home borough in the subject line. They will respond with an e-mail indicating where your polling place is located.

*Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on June 26

Can I Still Register to Vote?
No. To be eligible to vote in the June 26 primary, you needed to register by June 1. But don’t let that stop you. There are several local and state elections coming up this fall and there is plenty of time to register for those primary and general elections (as well as the Congressional general elections).

How do I Register?
You can register in person at Bronx County Board of Elections located at 1780 Grand Concourse 5th floor.

Register to vote at any New York State Agency-based voter registration center such as: post offices, libraries, any City University of New York (CUNY) college, any State University of New York (SUNY) college, Office for Aging, Commission on Quality of Care and Advocacy for Persons With Disabilities, Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Social Services, Division of Veterans Affairs, Department of Health-WIC Program, Office for Mental Health, Vocational and Education Services for Individuals With Disabilities.

Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
