Original story below.

NEW YORK CITY, NY — Tuesday is presidential primary day in New York, and thanks to this year's unusually competitive election season, none of five presidential candidates vying for your vote will be an easy shoo-in.

New York has a closed primary system, meaning you have to be a registered Democrat or Republican to vote in the primary. (The registration deadline for this primary has passed, but you can always register online for future elections.)

The polls will be open Tuesday from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

You can find your designated polling location — and view a sample ballot — using this helpful site put together by a coalition of local organizations.

Unfortunately, you can only vote at the one designated polling location tied to the address where you're registered, according to the NYC Board of Elections (BOE).

The sole candidates on Tuesday's ballot will be the ones running for your party's presidential nomination. (If you're a Democrat, that means Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. If you're a Republican, that means Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich.)

If you're a Democrat, you'll also be asked to pick between five and seven delegates to the party's national convention.

Each delegate you pick will be listed next to either Sanders' or Clinton's name, and — going forward — will be required to vote for that candidate at the convention.

(The Democratic delegates who receive the most votes Tuesday will essentially be representing you at this year's high-stakes national convention, so make sure not to overlook that part of the ballot.)

Th Republican Party appoints delegates using a different set of party rules, and does not ask Republican voters to select delegates at the ballot box.

For more on the delegate selection process, we recommend this useful explainer by DNAinfo reporter Nigel Chiwaya.

And here's what to do Tuesday if the folks manning your polling site can't find your registration.
