Update [September 12 6:16pm]: It was previously stated the voting will take place for the race between Helene Weinstein and Ramona Johnson. However, both individuals are the only candidates in their respective parties, therefore voting in that race won’t take place until the general election. The same mistake was made for the race between Steve Cymbrowitz and Boris Gintchanski. Changes have been made to reflect this.
