New Yorkers will head to the
polls once again to vote on the general
election next month. Here’s what
you need to know if you’re voting in
Queens.
Election Day is on Tuesday, Nov. 2,
with polls open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Early voting will take place from Saturday,
Oct. 23, to Sunday, Oct. 31.

The deadline to request an absentee
ballot online or by mail from the
city’s Board of Elections was on Oct.
18, but New Yorkers can request an
absentee ballot in person up until
Nov. 1. Absentee ballot holders must
mail in their ballots by Nov. 2, which
is also the last day to have the absentee
ballot postmarked.
While the competitive primary
election in June used ranked-choice
voting (RCV) for the first time, the
general election will not. Voters will
choose one candidate for each seat on
their ballot.
Here’s a refresher on who is running
for what in Queens.
