How can I still vote for any of these candidates? I thought they dropped out.

In order for Biden to officially hold the Democratic nomination he needs the backing of 1991 delegates of the total 3797 to officially face Trump in November. Due to Covid-19 many primaries were delayed. Initially the state’s Democratic election commissioners wanted to cancel the NYS Presidential Primary since Biden was the only actively running candidate; but Sanders and Yang sued. Sanders and Yang found the decision to cancel the primary unconstitutional. A federal judged agreed.
