There is a presidential primary on April 28. The primaries for the other November elections will be on June 23. You can vote in the primaries that match the political party of your voter registration, including any party change you made on or before February 14.
The new change of voting law applies to “a registered voter already enrolled in a different party, or to delete his enrollment in any party, or an application by a registered voter not enrolled in any party to enroll in a particular party.”
The New York State Board of Elections states online: “An application to change one’s party enrollment for any primary election in 2020 must be received by the board of elections no later than February 14, 2020.”

Fight BackAs we approach July Fourth, let’s remember that America has suffered through dark and divisive times before. It appears as if we are there again. While there are always those who capitulate, our history shows that we remember those Americans...
Don't Change ItAs a Sag Harbor native in my late 30s, I’ve seen the East End fully transform into the Hamptons — and it’s not a pretty picture. A village resident, I’m constantly reminded of how I don’t make enough money to...
