New York voters have two primaries in 2022 before the general election Nov. 8, and early voting is 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 June GOP gubernatorial primary, registered Republican voters will choose which of four candidates — Rob Astorino, Andrew Guiliani, Harry Wilson or Lee Zeldin — will appear on the Republican Party ballot line in the November general election.

In the June 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.
