Tell Us What's At State Locally In Tuesday's Election

Polls are open today as voters make town, county and statewide decisions.

Today, Southold Town residents will head to the polls to decide who their leaders in government will be. 

In Southold, there are two town council seats available and four qualified candidates running for them. Also, three seats will be decided among a pool of six candidates vying for Southold Town trustee.  

On the county level, incumbent Legislator Albert Krupski is running against challenger Albie De Kerillis for the 1st District seat. 

But it's not only about the candidates. 

New Yorkers are voting on six referendums, including whether the mandatory retirement age for Supreme Court and Court of Appeals judges should be increased. Also on the ballot is a Casino Referendum, which, if approved, would allow the state to build up to seven non-Indian casinos, including in the Catskills, which long ago lost its favored status as a retreat for New York City residents.

Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. To find out where you should go to vote, click here.
