Who are the Candidates?
A primary election will be held on Thursday, September 13, 2018. The general election will be on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.
The chart, on the next two pages, relates to the primary and election ballots for the area covered by Rockville Centre.
In the September primary there will be Democratic nomination contests for:
Governor
Lt. Governor
Attorney General
The winners of those primary contests will be on the November ballot as the Democratic Candidates, as will a number of persons running for other offices that are not the subjects of primary contests.
People who lose in the Democratic primary may still be on the ballot if they have the endorsement of one or more other political parties.
Wherever DEM is referenced in the “Primary” column, that means there is a primary contest.
The candidates are arranged in the order provided by the Nassau County Board of Elections.
Links to candidate websites are provided, to the extent we are aware of them.

Note:
Almost all of Rockville Centre is in the 21stAssembly District. A small part, bordering Oceanside, is in the 20thAssembly District.
The abbreviated names of the political parties can be confusing. They are:
DEM – Democratic”
WFP – Working Family
IND – Independence (that does not mean “independent” Independence is the name of a party.
WEP – Women’s Equality Party
GRE – Green
REP – Republican
CON Conservative
REF - Reform Party
There are other political parties, but they are not on any of these ballots.
“Opportunity to Ballot” is a procedure by which an individual or group can reserve a place on the ballot for a write-in candidate.
Please be sure to vote in the Primary and then help us to get out the vote in the general election. In modern times there has not been a more urgent and compelling reason to make every vote count for Democratic candidates.
