ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Primary elections are Tuesday and there are races for Rochester Mayor, City Council, Monroe County Legislature, and more.

First things first: Check your voter registration. The Monroe County Board of Elections has an online portal set up where you can check your registration status, and see a sample of the ballot you can expect to see when you head to the polls.

Early voting in Monroe County ran from June 12 through June 20, with 5,142 ballots being cast across the county. Additionally, as of Tuesday, 2,495 absentee ballots had been received, according to the Board of Elections.

If you’re not yet registered, or you moved, you can update your voter registration online through the Monroe County BOE website, or do so by mail.

Since New York state has closed primaries, voters can only vote in a primary election for candidates affiliated with their registered party.

List of Candidates & Races

Editor’s note: Because New York has closed primaries, votes for the June 22 elections will only be cast when more than one candidate in the same party is running for the same position. Voters must also be registered to a specific party to cast a primary vote for that party race.
