RANKED CHOICE VOTING  

Vote for UP TO 5 people for each office (except Manhattan DA since that’s a State office).  Fill in the circle for each candidate, as in this example: 

DON’T vote for anyone more than once and DON’T make more than 1 candidate your “number 1” choice. (Your ballot will not count.)

How it works: If one person get over 50%, that’s the winner.

If no one wins over 50%, the candidate in last place is eliminated, and that candidate’s votes will go to the candidate those voters ranked second, and the votes are re-counted. The same process continues until one candidate gets 50%.

This counting could take a few weeks.

New York State has $2.7 billion in federal funds to help tenants pay their rent. This is through the State's Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP). 

If your household income is under

$66,860 for a household of 1 person

$76,400 for a household of 2 people

$85,960 for a household of 3 people

$95,450 for a household of 4 people

$103,100 for a household of 5 people

and you lost income because of the pandemic, please click on this link to see if you're eligible to get up to 15 months of rental assistance. The money will be paid directly to Stellar, not to the tenant. 

If you are, APPLY NOW!  While $2.7 billion sounds like a lot of money, it's only $13,700 for the first 200,000 people who apply.  That's not so much!
