The city’s official voter guide for the Queens borough president special election is now live and ready for review as residents prepare to head to the polls this month.

Voters can visit voting.nyc to view the guide, which includes a short synopsis of the candidates’ top issues, and a video guide for most candidates. Candidates submit all information for the voter guides, which are then compiled and posted by NYC Votes. The special election is March 24.

The candidates listed with voter guides are Councilmembers Costa Constantinides and Donovan Richards, former Councilmember Elizabeth Crowley, police reform advocate Anthony Miranda, former prosecutor James Quinn and tech entrepreneur Dao Yin.

“The NYC Votes Voter Guide is the source New Yorkers can trust for accurate, nonpartisan information about the candidates running to represent them in city government,” said Amy Loprest, executive director of the NYC Campaign Finance Board and NYC Votes. “City elections have a major impact on issues like housing, public education, and the safety of our streets, and our voter guide helps New Yorkers decide which candidate best represents their interests.”

Early voting for the special election will run from March 14 to March 22.
