The Primary Election will be held tomorrow with polls in New York City and the counties of Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam and Erie, opening at  6 AM and closing at 9 PM. In all other counties, the polls will open at noon and close at 9 PM.

If this is your first time voting, or you would like a refresher course on how the process works, this video does a great job of explaining it.

 

To ensure that voters have ballot access during these primary elections,  Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman will operate a statewide Election Day Hotline during the primary election tomorrow. Voters encountering barriers to access at their polling sites can report those issues to the Attorney General’s Office by calling the hotline at 800-771-7755, or by emailing the office at civil.rights@ag.ny.gov.  The Hotline will be available from 6:00 A.M. until 9:00 P.M. on Election Day.

The Attorney General’s Civil Rights Bureau has operated the statewide Election Day Hotline since November 2012.  As a result they have fielded hundreds of calls and worked with dozens of Boards of Elections across the state to address barriers at polling sites throughout New York state, including reports pertaining to polling site accessibility for voters with disabilities, language accessibility for non-English speaking voters, voter intimidation and other ballot access issues.
