Are You Registered Correctly?

How to Vote
- Find out where your polling place is.
- If this is your first time voting in NY State and you registered by mail, bring a photo ID with you to the polls. If your ID does not have your current address, also bring proof of residency like a phone bill or bank statement with your current address.
- You do not need to bring the card the Board of Elections sends you in the mail to the polls, but it is helpful for remembering where the poll site is.

Stop the MTA fare hike, and save our buses and subways
The MTA voted on March 25 to enact a massive fare hike and unacceptably deep cuts in service on subways and buses throughout our community - including to the B67, B69, B75, B77, B23, and the F train. There is another choice, but it calls for courageous action in Albany. Please join me in calling on State Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith to do the right thing.
