UPDATE: 2016 Congressional Primary Results: NYS Board of Elections

UPDATE June 29: Here are the unofficial results from the New York State Board of Elections.

In the Republican primary in District 18, 5,619 people voted:

• Phil Oliva received 3,228 votes. Kenneth Del Vecchio received 2,352 votes.

In the Democratic primary for District 19, 17,006 people voted:

• Zephyr Teachout received 12,409 votes. Will Yandik received 4,550.

In the 19th's GOP primary, 13,712 people voted.

• John Faso received 9,126 votes, and Andrew Heaney received 4,459.

The head of New York's Working Families Party, Bill Lipton, issued a statement about the race in the 19th, where Teachout and Faso will vie for the seat being vacated by Rep. Chris Gibson:

Score one for the political revolution. Zephyr has been able to build a grassroots movement of activists and small dollar donors looking to take on the political and economic establishment. Voters in the 19th District now have a rare opportunity to elect a Representative who will lift up their voices and be a national leader in taking on corruption and corporate influence in our politics. The choice for them in November could not be clearer, and eyes of the entire country will continue to be on this race.

11:30PM June 28: Phil Oliva claimed victory Tuesday over Kenneth Del Vecchio in the 18th Congressional District Republican primary.

Oliva will face two-term Democratic Rep. Sean Maloney in November, according to the Journal News.

Kinderhook’s John Faso declared himself the winner of the Republican candidate for the 19th Congressional District seat over Andrew Heaney, according to the Poughkeepsie Journal.

Zephyr Teachout was projected by the Associated Press as the Democratic primary winner.

Not all counties in the state are hosting a contested primary. To determine if your polling place will be open, contact your county Board of Elections here.

In New York City and the counties of Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Orange and Putnam where contested elections will occur, primary polls open at 6 AM and close at 9 PM.

In all other counties with contested elections, polls open at 12 noon and close at 9 PM.

Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman reminds New Yorkers that his office has created a hotline to help troubleshoot and resolve a range of issues and barriers encountered by voters at the polls for the primary today.

The Attorney General urges voters experiencing problems or issues at the polls to call the office’s hotline at 800-771-7755 or email civil.rights@ag.ny.gov at any time today between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. The hotline will be staffed by attorneys and staff in the office's Civil Rights Bureau.

“My office is deeply committed to ensuring that all eligible voters have the ability to cast an effective ballot on Election Day,” Schneiderman said in his announcement about the hotline. “I urge all New Yorkers to immediately contact my office if they face any barriers at the polls. We will investigate and follow up on any complaints regarding any alleged improprieties at the voting booth.”

The Attorney General’s Office has operated the hotline since November 2012. During previous efforts the office fielded hundreds of complaints from voters across the state and worked with local election officials and others to promptly address issues encountered by voters at the polls. The Election Day hotline is part of Attorney General Schneiderman's ongoing statewide initiative to ensure that voters do not encounter language barriers on Election Day.

During the April 19th Presidential Primary, the Attorney General’s office received over 1,000 complaints about voter irregularities at the polls. In response, the office announced an investigation into alleged improprieties in primary voting by the New York City Board of Elections. On Thursday, June 23rd, the office sent a letter asking NYC BOE to implement the legally required affidavit ballot process and remind poll workers of the correct practices for the primary today. A similar letter was sent to all other county Board of Elections where a contested primary is occurring today.

In addition, the Attorney General's Office will focus on barriers impacting voters with disabilities, voter intimidation reports, and other issues faced by minority voters. Registered voters have the right to accessible elections. This means that voters with disabilities or language access issues have the right to request assistance from any person of their choice. In addition, all registered voters have the right to vote free from coercion or intimidation, whether by election officials or any other person.

The office will receive and respond to election-related complaints relating to any of the statutes that the office enforces.

New Yorkers should be aware that New York has a closed primary system. In order to vote in a party’s primary election, a voter must be affiliated with that party. The deadline to register was June 3.

The Attorney General’s Election Day hotline is being led by Assistant Attorneys General Ajay Saini and Diane Lucas, and Volunteer Assistant Attorney General Joseph Abboud of the Civil Rights Bureau, led by Bureau Chief Lourdes Rosado. The Social Justice Division is led by Executive Deputy Attorney General Alvin Bragg.
