It’s the last day to register to vote ahead of the NYC primary election
NEW YORK (PIX11) – New Yorkers who want to vote in the upcoming New York City primaries – Saturday is your last day to register.
The last day voters can register is on June 14, the day that early voting starts, according to NYC Votes. You only vote in the primaries if you’re affiliated with a political party.
If you wanted to change parties ahead of the primaries, you would've had to send in a new voter registration by Feb. 14.
You can register to vote as long as you’re a U.S. citizen, a New York City resident for a month and 16 years old. While teenagers can’t vote in elections, they’re able to pre-register ahead of turning age 18, NYC Votes wrote on its website.
You can register online if you have a driver’s license from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. If you don't have a license, you can send in a voter registration form to your local Board of Elections, according to NYC Votes.
If you plan to vote ahead of the primaries, early voting lasts through June 22. Primary Election Day will be held on June 24.
