Various readers of Daily News Bin have brought it to our attention that a significant amount of misinformation is being floated around social media this weekend as to what the voting hours are for the New York democratic and republican primaries on Tuesday April 19th. We’re not sure if this is intentional disinformation on the part of a voting base who believes it benefits their candidate, or if it’s just randomly inaccurate hearsay. In any case, here are the official New York voting hours.

If you live in New York City or the counties of Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam and Erie, the polls open on Tuesday at 6:00am local eastern time, and they remain open all day until 9:00pm eastern time.

If you live anywhere else in the state of New York, the polls open on Tuesday at 12:00 noon eastern time and remain open until 9:00pm eastern time.

If any New Yorkers haven’t been paying attention during the 2016 primary season and they’re not sure who their choices are, the democratic primary race is officially between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. The republican primary race is officially between Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and John Kasich. Numerous other candidates have already dropped out from both races.

Voters must be pre-registered as a democrat in order to vote in the New York democratic primary, or pre-registered as a republican to vote in the New York republican primary. The deadline for registering in New York has already come and gone. Here’s more information on voting hours.
