New York City’s registered Democrat and Republican voters headed to the polls Tuesday to cast their ballots in the city’s primary election.

All 51 members of the City Council are running to keep their seats thanks to last year’s redistricting but only 13 races feature more than two candidates and require ranked voting.

Two district attorney races in Queens and The Bronx are also at stake; Queens DA Melina Katz, a Democrat, is looking to fend off challengers on her left and right, while Democratic Bronx DA Darcel Clark is being challenged by a more liberal candidate.

NYC Board of Elections confirmed as of 10 a.m., only 69,501 of the city’s approximately 2.5 million eligible primary voters had either cast their ballot in early voting or at the polls in which no big ticket seats like mayor, governor or president are in play.

Mayor Eric Adams headed to his Brooklyn polling site at the gymnasium of PS 81 in Bedford-Stuyvesant to cast his vote on the last day of school for the city’s public students.

The Democrat was all smiles and jokes as he shook the hands of poll workers, a pregnant mom and her son and some school children before heading to the private booth to fill out his ballot.

“He just said ‘Hi.’ He is my neighbor. We live on the same block. He comes here to vote…he always votes.  It’s great!,” one poll worker told The Post.

“Every time he comes I always ask him his name. He said you are supposed to ask me my name. I know his name but it’s the rule so I asked, ‘What’s your name?’ And he said ‘Eric Adams’ and I punched it in. 

“He is always jovial. I said to him, ‘You see what you caused now?  You got me on TV.’  He started laughing.”

Another worker who had not before been assigned to the polling station wasn’t expecting to brush shoulders with Hizzoner.

“I was surprised when she told me that this is where the mayor voted,” she said when her co-worker told her.  

She told me, ‘This is his table.’ I said,  ‘Mayor Adams?’ and she said. ‘Yeah. He comes here to this table.’”

“It feels good, it was great. I was able to do my civic duty, serve the mayor. He was smiling away!”

In Harlem, three Democrats – Yusaf Salaam, Assemblywoman and former Councilmember Inez Dickens and Al Taylor – were looking to fill the seat of Councilwoman Kristin Richardson Jordan, who is not seeking reelection.

Taylor was on the corner of West 134th Street pitching voters right along side the brother of Salaam’s brother Shareef.

“It’s time for us to do something different. People in Harlem have become dejected, they don’t believe anything. They are jaded, nothing has happened. What has happened, is we’ve been gentrified,” Taylor said.

“This election is so significant on so many levels. There’s a lack of unity. We know a lot of families have left here, because they can’t afford to stay here. One of things we can not afford to do is be divisive. Divisive means if we are not together, I can run through you but there’s strength in unity.

“I lived here when heroin was the drug of choice. Then it was abandoned buildings and then it become crack. Now everyone wants to come to Harlem. When I was a kid, you didn’t call 110th Street after dark unless you were the police, you got lost or you came to buy drugs.” 

A voter who said he had lived in the district for 25 years said it was important that Harlem’s next councilmember knows the neighborhood.

“You need people to represent you in your district. In order to hear your voice, you need representation so that’s what they are here for,” said the man, a veteran who declined to identify himself.

“They need to put on dungarees and the denim shorts and get out there and get dirty. Take off the suits and get dirty. I see them during campaigning but I want to see them doing some dirty real work.

“I’m hoping to see change in gun violence. More recreational for the youth because there is none. That’s why they group up in gangs, hang out on corners and get into mischief.”

Silk, a 60 years old retired postal worker who has spent 28 years in Harlem said he had cast his ballot for Taylor.

“He got a new perception. It’s either going to be him or Yusef,” he said.

“I want to see Harlem — it’s not Harlem no more. You can just see that they don’t care about this area. They don’t care about Harlem,” Silk continued, alluding to Inez who had represented the district for nearly two decades.

“I have friends in shelters that’s trying to get better housing. They are putting them to the side. You can’t put someone that was here already and put them on the bottom.” 

“The city owned gym — the elevator has been down for 8 months. How can I city owned gym elevator be down for 8 months? It’s no way. There has to be some changes.” 

Tiffany Tate in her 30s, is an educator who voted for Yusef this morning with her 2-year-old daughter Zora in tow.

“It’s important for me to vote so I can be an example for our daughter. I want to see better educational opportunities in the community. Better safety and services overall.” 

“I’m excited to vote for Yusef Salam. I want to see what he’s able to do for the community. I think it’s time for us to have a new generation come in and make change and promote change.” 

“As a long time Harlem resident, born and raised here, I think it’s time for us to embrace something new.”
