With New York’s congressional primaries set for June 26, followed by the the general election on Nov. 6, City & State compiled a list of every candidate appearing on the ballot for each district, based on information from the state Board of Elections.

Districts that have multiple people filed under one party will participate in the primaries this month to determine that party’s nominee for the November general election. Candidates whose names appear with more than one party are on multiple ballot lines through a process known as fusion voting. A vote counts the same regardless of the line the vote is cast on for those candidates.
