Election hotline launches as early voting begins Saturday

Central New York voters can seek assistance from the state’s Election Protection Hotline starting Saturday, October 26, the first day of early voting.

The hotline will offer support with absentee ballots, early voting issues, and in-person polling concerns through Election Day, November 5th.

The hotline will operate from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. during early voting and extended hours from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Election Day.

The Office of the Attorney General urges voters to report any issues related to voter intimidation or access to the polls.
