The New York State presidential primary election is on Tuesday. Early voting continues through Saturday, March 30.

Also on the Democratic ballot are seven delegates to the party’s national convention from the First Congressional District, with voters asked to choose up to seven. Delegates run in each congressional district and are allocated based on the performance of the presidential candidates within the district.
