June 23: Democratic Primary for President in New York State
On April 27, the New York State Board of Elections canceled the June 23 Democratic Presidential primary in New York State because of safety concerns during the coronavirus outbreak.
On Tuesday, May 5, 2020, the Democratic Presidential primary was reinstated for June 23, 2020, due to a court order. This court order was in response to a lawsuit filed by former Democratic candidate, Andrew Yang, whose name was on the ballot despite suspending his campaign. According to published reports, Yang claimed that his rights were violated when his name was removed from New York's primary ballot.
So, as of now, the Democratic Presidential primary will be on June 23, 2020.
June 23: Democratic Primary for Westchester District Attorney
On June 23, 2020, there will also be a Democratic Party primary race for Westchester District Attorney in which incumbent Westchester District Attorney, Anthony Scarpino, will run against challenger Mimi Rocah.
