It's Almost Election Day: Here's When And Where To Vote On Tuesday Election Day is tomorrow. Have you voted yet?

NEW YORK CITY – Tomorrow is Tuesday, Nov. 5 - which means that it's finally almost Election Day. If you've already voted, you're among 282,533 Manhattan residents who have already done so, according to the Board of Elections . Good for you! If not, the time is now, and Patch has got you covered.

As you may have heard, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are on the ballot, as are Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and your representative in Congress.

Closer to home, this is – for the most part – an off-year, and it's not until 2025 that we'll see competitive contests for Mayor, City Council, Comptroller, Borough President, Public Advocate, and more. Gov. Kathy Hochul isn't back on the ballot until 2026.

There are important decisions to be made in 2024, however. These include yay or nay on a set of ballot proposals, as well as elected offices at the state level: those who represent Manhattan residents in Albany.

Here's what you need to know.

When and where do I vote on Election Day?

Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Plug in the address where you're registered to see your polling location in Manhattan here .

Can I still register to vote?

No. Voter registration closed on Oct. 26. You can check or confirm the status of your registration here . If you have questions about your registration, call (866) 868-3692 as soon as possible.
