Election Day is right around the corner, with polls opening for early voting on June 17 ahead of the June 27 primary.
There are some contentious democratic primary races to look out for in Queens.
Paul D. Graziano, Christopher S. Bae and Tony Avella are facing off for City Council District 19 and, in western Queens, Hallie Kim and Julie Won will be fighting for the District 26 seat.
Meanwhile, Steve Behar, Rubaiya Rahman and incumbent Linda Lee will battle it out for the District 23 seat.
But perhaps the biggest race to watch out for is for Queens district attorney, where incumbent Melinda Katz is looking to fend off challengers George Grasso and Devian Daniels.
Election Day is scheduled for June 27, with polls open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
