Today is Election Day and by the end of the day we may, or may not, know who the next President of the United States will be, and, of course, there are local elections as well. We’ve got races for Congress, US Senate, State Senate and Assembly, and several local contested and uncontested elections. Early voting ended Sunday, yesterday was a day to rest and today is the big day for those who haven’t voted yet. Clarkstown Supervisor George Hoehmann says the crowds in his town for early voting sometimes waited for over an hour…
Rockland County Executive Ed Day says voting is a right that we shouldn’t take for granted…
So, you can probably expect lines again today, depending on the time you go. If you have an “Early Vote by Mail” ballot or an Absentee ballot, you can still return them in-person to the Board of Elections by 9PM tonight, or they must be postmarked today. The secure drop box at the Board of Elections will be closed promptly tonight at 9PM. For voting in-person, the polls opened today at 6AM and will close tonight at 9PM.
