NEW YORK, November 3, 2026 — New Yorkers heading to the polls can use BigNY.com’s Elections 2026 guide to find election information in English and 14 other languages, check the candidates associated with their districts, and explore party policy positions before casting a ballot.
Start with your address
The multilingual guide includes an address-based district and candidate lookup for New York City. Enter a street address, borough, state and ZIP code to look up the relevant districts and candidate information. The page explains that its district matching uses the U.S. Census Bureau and asks users not to include apartment numbers.
For the authoritative Election Day polling place and sample ballot, follow the guide’s direct link to the New York City Board of Elections poll-site lookup. A district lookup is useful for research, but voters should always confirm their assigned polling location with the election agency.
Compare policies, then check the candidates
BigNY.com organizes policy comparisons across 25 issues, including public safety, affordability, education, housing, immigration, transportation and government accountability. It links readers to supporting documents and public sources so they can examine the evidence behind a position.
There is an important distinction: a national party platform or a statement by a legislative caucus is not automatically the personal position of every 2026 candidate. The guide makes that limitation explicit and encourages readers to look for candidates’ own statements and other verifiable records.
Election information in 15 languages
In addition to English, BigNY.com offers its New York election guide in Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Yiddish, Korean, French, Haitian Creole, Bengali, Arabic, Urdu, Polish, Turkish, Ukrainian and Georgian.
These language options make it easier for families, neighborhood organizations and community groups across Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island to share a starting point for election research. Official ballots and assistance remain governed by the election authorities; the BigNY guide is an independent informational resource, not an official Board of Elections service.
Election Day: November 3
According to the NYC Board of Elections, polling places are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Voters who are in line by 9 p.m. may remain in line and vote. For the latest instructions, ballot questions and official updates, consult vote.nyc and the New York State Board of Elections.
