Hudson Valley Voter's Guide: Presidential Primary Is Tuesday, April 19

On Tuesday, April 19, New Yorkers can go to the polls and pick which presidential candidate they want as their party’s candidate.

The New York primary is a closed primary, meaning you have to be registered to vote as either a Republican or a Democrat in order to be able to cast your ballot. The deadline for registering for the primary or changing party affiliation is long past.

However, you can still register for the congressional and state and local primaries and even for the general election. Deadlines and other information can be found here.

On the Republican side, voters can choose real estate mogul and reality television star Donald J. Trump, Ohio Governor John Kasich or Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

For Democrats, there is former senator and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders from whom to pick.

Polls are open in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange counties from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., according to the state Board of Elections.
