The upcoming August 23rd primary is officially inching closer with early voting underway. New York City, because of a redrawing of voting lines, is slated to elect or reelect U.S. House of Representatives and state senators next week.
Most officials view the low turnout as a symptom of the city and state holding two primaries in addition to a general election this year, which is unusual. Every 10 years the voting district maps across a state are redrawn based on census data in a process called redistricting. After months of partisan and public fighting over the maps, the city is using congressional and state senate maps designated in the courts by an outside special master this August.
There are many more state senate races across the boroughs, such as Gustavo Rivera in District 33 in the Bronx, Andrew Gounardes in District 26 in Brooklyn, Cordell Cleare in District 30 in Harlem, Elizabeth Crowley in District 59 in Queens, and Jessica Scarcella-Spanton in District 23 in Staten Island.
