Tell Us What's At Stake Locally In Tuesday's Election
Polls are open as voters decide on local and county leaders Tuesday.
On Tuesday, Southampton Town residents will head to the polls to decide who their leaders in government will be.
In Southampton we may be looking at a new town supervisor as challenger Linda Kabot looks to unseat incumbent Anna Throne-Holst. In the town council there are two seats available and four qualified candidates vying for them.
On the county level, incumbent Legislator Jay Schneiderman will look to keep his seat against challenger Chris Nuzzi in the 2nd District.
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.
