Polls will open bright and early on Oct. 23, and close on Oct. 31, followed by Election Day Tuesday, Nov. 2, for local elections.
The League of Women Voters of New York City said, Local elections affect the daily life of all city residents, from trash collection to policing to education for our children.
“This fall, we will decide our next mayor, public advocate, comptroller, borough pPresidents, and 35 of the 51 City Council members. Voters in Manhattan and Brooklyn will also be selecting new district attorneys,” said the organization.
“We will also vote on five important ballot proposals that would amend the New York State Constitution. The proposals deal respectively with 1) redistricting, 2) environmental rights, 3) removal of restrictions on voter registration deadlines, 4) removal of restrictions on voting absentee, and 5) expansion of the New York City Civil Court to include claims of up to $50,000.”
