QUEENS, NY – Acting Queens Borough President Sharon Lee stated the following in response to questions about the cancellation of the June 23, 2020 Special Election for Queens Borough President:

“This is an extraordinary time. The Borough President’s Office, however, remains open, operational and fully committed to serving the constituents of Queens,” said Borough President LEE. “I made a commitment to represent and serve the people and families of Queens, to the best of my ability and for as long as necessary, and this commitment still stands. More importantly, we must not allow the virus to silence our voices and render us invisible. Whether via absentee ballot or at the polls, I urge all voters in Queens to vote in the June and November elections like our lives and our futures depend on it, because they do.”
