This is a sample ballot for the NYS primary.



Remember to vote for your candidate and all of your candidates delegates.

Some congressional districts get more delegates than others so be sure to read your ballot carefully.

This particular district has five but the one in the south get 6 or 7 delegates. The reason is they give more delegates to areas with more Democrats.

You have to read underneath the name, who the delegate is pledged to, and vote appropriately.

4. Might not be the top row

Don't count on Bernie being on the top row. Around here (not NY) they rotate candidate position on different batches of ballots, so nobody will have "position advantage". It wouldn't surprise me if NY does that as well.

If independents do this in large numbers, Bernie is likely to get additional votes.
A net gain. Go college independents.
Spread the word.

6. democratic vote suppression

We complain about republican vote suppression.. We ignore democratic vote suppression. New york no independents alowed to vote in presidential primary. We laugh because trump kids can't vote because they had to reregister from independents by october. How about independents who want to vote for bernie. Also no same day registration. Vote suppression look in the mirror democratic party.

13. Mine didn't show that. I asked three poll workers, none of them knew either.

I took a chance and marked everyone who was on the same line as my chosen candidate. It was either that or vote for the candidate and leave the rest blank.
