VOTE! Election Day November 2nd: New York City Votes A New Way!

New Yorkers will vote on new voting machines this year.

This year New Yorkers will be voting via a paper ballot and an optical scanner.

Say Goodbye to the old lever machines.

VOTERS CALL 311

OR

TWEET #NYCVOTES

ON ELECTION DAY TO REPORT ANY PROBLEMS AT THE POLLS

Mayor Bloomberg announced via Twitter that 311 will track Election Day complaints and urged New Yorkers to call 311 to report any issues they observe at their poll sites.

311 operators will record whether the reason for the call concerns difficulties with poll sites, voting machine, or poll site workers. All data collected will be shared with the Board of Elections to help it identify and address problems and improve overall service delivery. In addition, preliminary data will be released to the public on Election Day.

The Mayor (@nycmayorsoffice) via Twitter is also encouraging voters to tweet any problems they encounter at the polls - with the hashtag #nycvotes, providing the public with another avenue for making their voices heard. The Board of Elections and the public will be able to monitor the Tweets, as will the Mayor's Office.

Vote The New Way Demonstration.
