Welcome to the Citizens Union 2024 General Election Voters Directory! Read the full directory here (pdf).
This fall, New Yorkers will vote in the general election for the U.S. President, New York State Legislature, as well as federal and judicial positions. In addition, voters will vote on six ballot proposals. To help our supportive Citizens Union members prepare to vote, Citizens Union has been publishing an annual Voters Directory for over a century.
The current edition includes information about candidates in several key races, Citizens Union’s recommendations on ballot questions, and an endorsement in the U.S. Presidential Election. This year, Citizens Union provides the public with information about candidates in five competitive legislative races without issuing endorsements in those races.
Our past preference and endorsement decisions are also available.
To find out when & where to vote and see who will be on your ballot, go to Who’sOnTheBallot.org.
