BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) — It's your voice, your vote.

We want to remind you that early voting for the June 27 primary is now underway.

38 polling sites will be open in Erie County over the next week.

The Erie County Board of Elections says 764 people voted during the first weekend of early voting.

You're voting in the primaries for your local town or city leaders in your party. That includes five of the nine Buffalo Common Council seats.

One to keep an eye on is in the Masten District. Former mayoral candidate India Walton and community advocate Zeneta Everhart are vying for Ulysses Wingo's seat, who is not running for re-election.

Council President and Ellicott representative Darius Pridgen is also not seeking re-election. Emin Eddie Egriu, Matt Dearing, Cedric Holloway, and Leah M Halton-Pope are vying for Pridgen's seat.

Bryan J Bollman is up against Mohammed N Uddin in the Lovejoy District, Joseph Golombek Jr is up against Eve Shippens in the North District, and Rasheed N Wyatt is up against Kathryn E A Franco in the University District.

You can find a list of the primary contests here.
