BY THE VILLAGE SUN | Early voting starts today, Sat., June 17, and runs through Sun., June 25, for Democratic primary elections for City Council.
Some early-voting sites in Council District 1 (which includes Lower Manhattan, Soho, Chinatown, Tribeca, Financial District, Battery Park City) are City-As-School High School, at 19 Clarkson St., between Seventh Avenue South and Hudson Street; Hamilton Madison House, at 50 Madison St.; and B.M.C.C. Fitterman Hall, at 245 Greenwich St.
Due to renovation work, St. Anthony’s Church, at Sullivan and Houston Streets, which is usually a go-to poll site for Soho residents, is currently not being used for voting.
In District 1, incumbent Christopher Marte faces a challenge from three opponents, Susan Lee, Ursila Jung and Pooi Stewart.
Among early voting sites for Council District 2 (which includes the East Village, Washington Square and part of Greenwich Village, Noho, Gramercy and Kips Bay) are Campos Plaza, at 635 E. 12th St.; Junior High School 56, at 220 Henry St.; and Hunter College Brookdale Dorm, at 425 E. 25th St.
Carlina Rivera, who has represented District 2 since 2018, is being challenged for the second time by Allie Ryan.
Councilmember Erik Bottcher, who represents the West Side’s District 3 (Greenwich Village, Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen), is unopposed and so does not have a primary election.
For more information on the two Council races, see The Village Sun’s coverage.
