Election Day is less than three weeks away, and while New York isn’t one of the seven swing states that will likely decide the presidential election, there are still a number of important issues for Empire State residents to vote on.

Here’s New York Focus’s guide to what’s at stake and why it all matters.

There are hundreds of candidates running for state legislature, local judgeships, school boards, district attorneys’ offices, and more. We’ve picked five key topics to focus on:

1. The presidential and US Senate elections.

2. How New York’s battleground House seats could decide control of Congress.

3. Five ballot measures for New York City voters that Mayor Eric Adams says would improve city government — but opponents claim are just a power play.

4. A proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the New York State Constitution, which supporters say would protect abortion access.

5. Whether Democrats will lose their supermajorities in the state legislature.
