Election Day in New York: Voting Guide and Controversies

Election Day in New York features races for the New York City Council, district attorney, judges, and two statewide ballot measures. While there are no citywide offices being contested, some local races have been contentious, with Republicans trying to increase their power in a traditionally Democratic city. Notable races include a bitter fight between two sitting council members in southern Brooklyn and district attorney races in the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island. New Yorkers are concerned about issues such as immigration, public safety, housing affordability, and recent attacks in Israel.
