June Primary 2022: Rockland County Voters Guide

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY — Rockland County residents registered as Democrats or Republicans had 10 days to vote for governor and lieutenant governor, and the last one is Tuesday.

New York voters have two primaries in 2022 before the general election Nov. 8, and early voting was available each time.

The June 28 primary covers New York's governor, lieutenant governor and State Assembly races. The August 23 primary will cover congressional and state senate elections plus special elections for New York Congressional District 19 and the lieutenant governorship.

In the GOP gubernatorial primary, registered Republican voters will choose which of four candidates — Astorino, Andrew Guiliani, Harry Wilson or Lee Zeldin — will appear on the Republican Party ballot line in the November general election.

In the Democratic primary for governor, registered Democratic voters will choose which of three candidates — Thomas R. Suozzi, Kathy C. Hochul or Jumaane D. Williams — will appear on that ballot line in November.

In the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor, three people are running. Incumbent Antonio Delgado, who was appointed in May after Brian Benjamin resigned under indictment, was in his second term as a congressman for the 19th Congressional District in the Hudson Valley. He faces challenges from Ana Maria Archila and Diana Reyna.

The winner of the primaries for governor and lieutenant governor form an official ticket in the general election Nov. 8.

There is no Republican primary for lieutenant governor; Alison Esposito is the only candidate for that post on the Republican and Conservative lines.

There are no assembly primaries in Rockland.

If you voted during the early voting period, you are not eligible to vote on Election Day. For the June primary, early voting votes will be canvassed and reported after 9 p.m. June 28.

Election integrity

The New York Attorney General's Office will make its Election Protection Hotline available for the upcoming June 28 election and during New York’s early voting period. The hotline will be available to troubleshoot and resolve a range of issues encountered by voters, including voting by absentee ballot due to the COVID-19 crisis or in-person at their polling place. Voters who experience problems can report issues to OAG by calling the new hotline number at (866) 390-2992, submitting complaints online, or emailing election.hotline@ag.ny.gov. The OAG also created a guide to address frequently asked questions to assist voters.
