Attorney General Announces Ballot Access Hotline

State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced that his office will once again operate a “statewide Election Day Hotline” during this Thursday’s primary elections. (This year’s primary elections will be held Thursday to avoid conflicting with the second day of Rosh Hashanah.)

Voters who encounter any “barriers to access” at their polling sites can report those issues to the Attorney General’s Civil Rights Bureau by calling 800-771-7755, or by emailing the office at [email protected].  The Hotline will be available from 6:00 A.M. until 9:00 P.M. on Election Day.

In New York City and Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam and Erie counties, the polls are open from 6:00 A.M. to 9:00 P
