Astoria Election 2026: Who's Running And How To Vote

ASTORIA— Astoria voters will head to the polls on Nov. 3 for the 2026 general election, with statewide, congressional and local races on the ballot.

Among the key contests are the races for New York governor, state comptroller and attorney general. Voters will also choose representatives in Congress, the New York State Senate and the State Assembly, depending on their district.

Several Queens judicial races and five New York City ballot proposals will also appear on ballots.

Here’s what Astoria residents need to know before Election Day.

When Is Election Day?

Election Day is Tuesday. Polling places will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

New York City's early voting period ran from Oct. 24 through Nov. 1.

Early voting has now ended.

Voters can find their assigned Election Day polling location through the city's poll-site lookup tool.

Am I Registered to Vote?

Residents can check their voter registration status and find information about registration requirements through the New York State Board of Elections.

Who's on the Ballot?

Because Astoria's neighborhood boundaries do not always align with political district lines, not all residents will have the same candidates on their ballots.

Congressional, State Senate and State Assembly races may vary depending on a voter's home address. Residents can view their exact races and candidates through the city's poll-site lookup and sample ballot tool.

In New York, candidates can appear under multiple political parties on the same ballot because of a system known as fusion voting.

Under this system, two or more parties can nominate the same candidate. The candidate’s name may appear on separate ballot lines for each party, but those votes are combined when the election results are counted.
