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 fi rst 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.
