The League of Women Voters of Scarsdale (LWVS) has circulated the following information about how the voting will be done for the two parties on Tuesday – so read below before casting your vote:

From the LWVS:

Voters must be registered in the Democratic or Republican party to vote in that party's primary in New York State.

In New York State, the Republican and Democratic Presidential primaries are organized differently.

Republican Voters will be issued a ballot with candidates listed. The voter will choose one candidate, but will not vote for delegates. Please be advised that some candidates have withdrawn from the race but are still listed on the New York Ballot.

Democratic Voters will be asked to vote for the Presidential candidate AND delegates for the Democratic convention. Residents of the 16th Congressional District will vote for 6 delegates (indicated on the ballot instructions). The delegates listed in the same row across from the Presidential candidate are the delegates for that candidate.
