The candidates for New York City's primary elections

New York City voters will cast ballots for a number of primary races, including a council race in Brooklyn, judgeship contests and the hotly contested Queens DA’s race. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

There’s a race in the 45th Brooklyn Council District, the former seat of Public Advocate Jumaane Williams. Farah Louis won the seat in a special election last month to succeed Williams and is favored to prevail again on Tuesday. Her challengers include Monique Chandler-Waterman, Anthony Alexis and Xamayla Rose.

In the race for Queens Civil Court, a 10-year term, attorney Lumarie Maldonado Cruz and defense lawyer Wyatt Gibbons face off.

In Brooklyn, there are primaries for Surrogate’s Court, Countywide Civil Court and a four-way race for the 6th Civil Court District seat.

In the Surrogate Court’s race, incumbent Judge Margarita Lopez Torres faces off against rivals Elena Baron and Meredith Jones.

In the county-wide civil court race, Edward King faces off against Derafim Bernadette Neckles.
