There's a new voting law on the books for New
Yorkers this year.
If you happen to go to the
wrong polling location, you won't be turned away to go to your assigned one to
vote.
This is how it works -
eligible voters still need to be in the correct county and assembly district,
and then you'll be given an affidavit ballot to cast your vote.
While many voters may only
have one polling location, for more densely populated areas, this may
make things easier for you on Election Day
if you make a mistake.
The bill was co-sponsored by
a number of state lawmakers including former local representatives, Democrats
Alessandra Biaggi and Elijah Reichlin-Melnick.
Gov. Kathy Hochul signed it
into law last month.
