Coming up on today's show:

An informal, unofficial, thoroughly unscientific exit poll with your calls, and a roundup of news from around the city on primary election day, with:

  • Gwynne Hogan, reporter for WNYC and Gothamist, reports on what she's seeing and hearing at polls in lower Manhattan on primary election day.
  • Ese Olumhense, City Limits politics reporter, reports on what she's seeing and hearing at polls in The Bronx.
  • Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause New York, talks about what she is seeing at poll sites, answers last-minutes ranked choice voting questions and explains why the counting process will take so much time. Plus, listeners call in to share who they voted for.
  • Juan Manuel Benitez, Reporter at NY1 and host PuraPolítica, reports on what he is seeing and hearing at the polls in Harlem.
