By 6 p.m., nearly 2.2 million New Yorkers and counting had turned up to vote in Tuesday’s election—many saying they were motivated by the chance for change and hopes for unity following a divisive presidential campaign season.
In the nine days of early voting that kicked off on Oct. 26, just shy of 1.1 million New Yorkers had already made it to the polls, according to NYC’s Board of Elections. The numbers rivaled that of 2020, which saw 30,000 more people cast an early ballot.

APPLICATION DEADLINES:
The deadlines for the summer and fall 2024 sessions have passed. Applicants who applied for fall will hear back with a decision soon.
You may apply for both programs. Due to the limited number of spots, students can only participate in one of the sessions.
This is a highly competitive program and we can only accept a select few candidates due to the limited size. If we are unable to offer you a reporting internship, we encourage you to reapply for future sessions, and to continue your pursuit of journalism. If you have questions about CLARIFY or the application process, please contact info@clarifynews.org.
