The Conservative Party primary election was canceled. Joann Ariola advanced from the special Conservative Party primary for Queens Borough President.
Nonpartisan special election
The nonpartisan special general election for Queens Borough President was originally scheduled on March 24, 2020. The filing deadline for this election was January 14, 2020.[2][3] On March 15, Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) announced the postponement of the race due to concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.[4] The race was rescheduled to be held on June 23, 2020, coinciding with the statewide partisan primary.
Prior to Gov. Andrew Cuomo issuing a proclamation on April 24, 2020, two races for Queens Borough President were scheduled to be held on June 23, 2020: a nonpartisan general election and a partisan primary.[5][6] The nonpartisan special general election was canceled to avoid voter confusion. The winner would have served through the end of 2020. Because June 23 was the statewide primary election date, the special partisan primary was not canceled. The primary winners advanced to the general election on November 3, 2020.[5]
Candidates Costa Constantinides, Elizabeth Crowley, Anthony Miranda, Jim Quinn, Donovan Richards Jr, and Dao Yin were on the ballot in this race before it was canceled. Jimmy Van Bramer also filed for the race but withdrew.

Transportation Improved public transportation and interborough (Brooklyn-Queens) transit are greatly needed to ease the burdens this growth has brought. However, Queens currently lacks this infrastructure, with not enough transit options and some of the most overcrowded streets. Commercial corridors such as Fresh Pond Road, Myrtle Avenue, Metropolitan Avenue and Grand Avenue are plagued with congestion, unreliable bus service and overcrowded subways. This congestion and overcrowding happens around the clock, and is exasperated at rush hour. But through these transit-poor communities runs the LIRR Lower Montauk branch. It runs east to west, and is still maintained by the LIRR, but used limitedly by the New York Atlantic Railway for private freight transport. This public right-of-way is an invaluable resource that must be tapped and used for local commuters’ benefits. Education Combatting Homelessness Housing families in hotels is not only wrong it is illegal and that is why Council Member Crowley sued the DeBlasio administration:
