From the presidency of the U.S. to the presidency of Queens, from the House of Representatives to the City Council, NYC voters will have lot of choices to make on November 3.

Like a growing chill in the air or the crunching of browning leaves under one’s feet, elections are a ritual of autumn. This year will be a little different, however.

Early voting is part of the picture for the first time in a major election. Mail-in voting is expected to occur at record levels because of the pandemic. And the presidential election could be the most consequential in memory, if not in history.

While the presidential race is drawing most of the attention, as it always does, New York voters have choices to make for a number of other offices. The City Limits/Gotham Gazette/WNYC/Gothamist 2020 Voters’ Guide is aimed at helping voters learn a little more about their options.

Just enter your address below and you’ll see the races and candidates on your ballot.

Every seat in Congress and every district in the state Senate and Assembly are up, and while some candidates are running unopposed, most districts feature some competition and some are home to tight contests. Those individual races will also help decide control and composition of the larger electoral bodies.

There also is a race for the borough presidency in Queens, and one City Council seat is up for grabs.
