What time can I vote?

During the general election on November 8, 2022, polling places are open from 6 a.m.-9 p.m. 

Who can I contact if there is an issue at a polling location?

The Attorney General's Office has resources available if there are problems at your polling station.

For issues with your polling location being improperly closed or not having the correct disability accommodations, call the AG's office at (866) 390-2992.

What statewide proposals are on the ballot this year?

This year, voters in New York can vote on the Clean Water, Clear Air, and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022.
