Everything You Need To Know For Election Tuesday
Tuesday, November 5 is election day, and polls will be open from 6am to 9pm. Here are some of the things you should know before casting your vote tomorrow:
• Find out where your polling site is with this locator. Some sites have relocated or combined, so be sure to double check!
• Enter your address to see a sample ballot here. Citywide races include mayor, public advocate, and comptroller, Brooklyn races include borough president and district attorney, and locally you’ll vote for a city councilmember. The New York City Campaign Finance Board has a voter guide.
• There will be 6 questions this year, from a proposal to allow more casinos to one that would increase the age until which certain judges can serve. WNYC has a look at those in plain language, notes on who supports and opposes them, and how they’ll be worded on the ballot.
• Got a concern about your rights at the polling site? Here are some FAQs about issues you might encounter.
