It's Election Day and there are a few things you should know before you head to the polls:
- No Campaign Gear Allowed: Leave hats, shirts, and buttons promoting candidates or propositions at home. New York is among 21 states banning such items at polling stations.
- Busy Polls Expected: Stay in line even if polls close at 9 p.m. You have the right to vote.
- Mistakes Happen: Request a new ballot if you make an error, and ask for a paper ballot if machines are down.
- Provisional Ballots: If registered but not listed in the poll book, you're entitled to a provisional ballot. It'll be processed separately.
Polls are open until 9 p.m.
