Long Islanders can head to the polls tomorrow when early voting begins in New York

Rich Aaron, this morning the final preparations are underway all across Long Island to get dozens of poll sites ready for early voters starting tomorrow. We're here in Wantagh, Wantagh Avenue, just down the block from St. Francis Church, one location where Nassau County voters will be able to cast their ballots early again when that period begins. This is a nine day period early voting that begins tomorrow and times and locations vary based on county, but it runs. Every day, again, starting this weekend, all the way through the following weekend, through Sunday, November 1st. Again, those locations and those times do depend on which county you are in. And what's different about early voting is you don't necessarily have to go to your normal election day of voting poll site that you're assigned. In this case, here in Nassau and Suffolk counties, you go to whichever is most convenient for you at that time in the county that you are registered in. that part is very important. There is a lot at stake and a lot of obviously excitement here surrounding this year's midterm election. Here on Long Island, we are looking at some of the biggest races on the ballot, including, of course, governor, as well as all four representatives in Congress for Long Island. So you have a lot here and we're expecting some good turnout numbers, people making their ways to the poll. And throughout the morning today, we'll be speaking with voters to get a sense of what matters most to them, whether it's a race, maybe it's a particular policy issue that matters most to them. We'll be speaking with voters today before they begin to head to the polls. The deadline to actually register to vote hasn't passed yet. It's tomorrow, so you still have an opportunity to go and register if you haven't done so yet, so that's great there as well. We do already have a full list of voting sites in both Nassau and Suffolk Counties and The Times because again they're different. That's already up on our website so you can go check that out get all the information you need as you get ready to vote. We're in Wantagh, Nassau County, Jonathan Gordon, News 12.
