New York votes today from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. after more than 690,000 early votes

New York.— Polling places in New York City are open this Tuesday, November 3, from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., according to the city's Board of Elections, for a day in which voters will decide the state's governorship, congressional seats and five municipal Charter revision proposals.

The governor's race pits incumbent Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul against Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, the Republican. Late-October polls from Siena, Marist and Quinnipiac gave Hochul a lead of 11 to 14 points, according to Election Day reporting.

Early voting closed Sunday with 690,526 ballots cast across the five boroughs: Brooklyn led with 219,536, followed by Manhattan with 188,434, Queens with 162,914, the Bronx with 67,630 and Staten Island with 52,012. That figure is nearly 60% higher than early voting in the 2022 midterm elections, though 6% lower than in the 2025 mayoral race.

In the city, voters will also weigh in on five proposals from the Commission on Government Efficiency, convened by Mayor Zohran Mamdani, to speed up city government. The Board of Elections reminds voters to check their assigned polling place at FindMyPollsite.Vote.NYC before heading out, as the location may have changed since previous elections.

Voters in line at closing time will still be able to vote. The state Attorney General's office maintains an election protection hotline to address problems with mail or in-person voting.
