If so, here are the basics: Make sure you know where your Election Day polling site is, because it’s often different from your early voting site. And before you head out, look up your sample ballot so you know exactly what you’ll see. (Do that through the same poll site locator linked in the previous sentence.)
Chances are good you already know who you’re choosing for mayor — very few New Yorkers are undecided in recent polls — but what about in the City Council? And those back-of-the-ballot proposals?
Our team will be out all day covering the election, and we want to hear from you. Are there problems or long lines at your polling place? Electioneering? A voting sticker shortage? Drop a line at ask@thecity.nyc.
A mother was overcome with emotion after immigration agents detained her partner following a court hearing inside 26 Federal Plaza, Oct. 16, 2025.
While federal troops and police officers have swooped into other cities to patrol their streets, immigration enforcement in New York City has centered on the often masked agents dragging people away inside of one office building with both immigration courts and holding cells in lower Manhattan, THE CITY has been there day after day to document those scenes, along with the protesters who’ve organized in response to those arrests and the network of volunteers accompanying immigrants to their court dates. See the scenes from five months of fear, fury and heartbreak at 26 Federal Plaza.

The New York City Housing Authority, the nation's public housing provider, dodged a bullet Monday when the federal agency that funds nearly 70% of its operating budget sent over its monthly check. That wasn't a given due to the budget impasse in Washington, which triggered behind-the-scenes agita that the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) might not come through for NYCHA with its usual monthly payout.
But unlike the turmoil facing millions of recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) whose food stamps remain uncertain, NYCHA tenants landscape remained intact — for the moment — with HUD sending over the monthly check of $191 million. With the authority facing a continuing struggle to eliminate a huge rent shortfall due to tenants who didn't resume paying when the pandemic moratorium ended, the potential for a disaster if HUD had stopped the flow was very real.
