Tuesday is Primary Day in New York City. The polls are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and it’s going to get hot: temperatures are expected to hit the high 90s. “Stay cool, drink water and remember to Vote,” the city’s Board of Elections urged New Yorkers in a social media post.

A crowded field of Democratic mayoral candidates are vying for a spot on the November general election ballot, where they’ll compete against (among others) incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who’s running as an independent. Also on the ballot: races for City Council, borough president, public advocate and comptroller, as well as some judge positions.
