AM I ELIGIBLE TO VOTE?
VOTING ELIGIBILITY CHECK-LIST:
- be a United States citizen
- be 18 years old
- resident of New York State and the county, city, or village for at least 30 days before the election
- not claim the right to vote elsewhere
- Registered as a Democrat
- In our district, the Democratic primary often determines the outcome of the general election due to our overwhelmingly blue constituency. New York operates under a closed primary system, meaning only registered Democrats can participate in Democratic primaries. If you’re registered as an Independent or with a third party, you won’t have a say in who represents you. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the decision-making process—register as a Democrat to ensure your voice is heard in shaping Harlem’s future.

VOTER REGISTRATION
FELON REGISTRATION RIGHTS
A new law passed in 2021, restores the right to vote for a person convicted of a felony upon release from incarceration, regardless of if they are on parole or have a term of post-release supervision. If a convicted felon is not incarcerated, they are eligible to register to vote.
