Election Day in NYC: Polls open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday, schools go remote and alternate side parking is off

New York City votes on Tuesday, Nov. 3, and the day changes more than the ballot box. Public school students will learn from home, street cleaning rules are suspended, and Monday is the last day to apply for a mail ballot in person. Early voting ended Sunday with 690,526 check-ins.

Poll hours and where to vote

• Tuesday, Nov. 3: polls are open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., THE CITY reported.
• Your Election Day poll site may not be the same as your early voting site. Look up both at findmypollsite.vote.nyc.
• Every city voter will see the races for governor, state comptroller and attorney general, plus five proposed City Charter amendments on the back of the ballot. You can view your sample ballot by address through the Board of Elections. Our election guide has more, and here is where the governor's race stands on the eve of the vote.

Early voting is over: 690,526 checked in

Early voting ended Sunday. Over nine days, 690,526 voters checked in citywide, according to the Board of Elections' unofficial count: 219,536 in Brooklyn, 188,434 in Manhattan, 162,914 in Queens, 67,630 in the Bronx and 52,012 on Staten Island. If you did not vote early, Tuesday is your only remaining chance to vote in person.

Mail ballots: today is the last day to apply in person

Monday, Nov. 2 is the last day to apply for a mail ballot in person at your borough Board of Elections office, according to the Board of Elections. Offices are open weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Offices: Manhattan, 200 Varick St., 10th floor; Bronx, 1780 Grand Concourse, 5th floor; Brooklyn, 345 Adams St., 4th floor; Queens, 118-35 Queens Blvd., 11th floor, Forest Hills; Staten Island, 1 Edgewater Plaza, 4th floor. The board's hotline is 1-866-VOTE-NYC.

Already have a mail ballot? You can return it by mail with a postmark no later than Tuesday, Nov. 3 (the board's envelopes include postage), or drop it off by 9 p.m. Tuesday at your borough Board of Elections office or at any Election Day poll site in your borough. Voters who were issued a mail ballot can't use a voting machine but can still vote in person on an affidavit ballot, the board says.

Weather

The National Weather Service forecasts a mostly sunny Tuesday with a high near 69 and light winds, and a low around 53 Tuesday night.

Schools: a remote learning day

Public schools are often used as poll sites, and the NYC Public Schools calendar lists Nov. 3 as a day when "school will be in session remotely for all students." It is a school day, not a day off.

• Students in kindergarten and above take their classes from home. Children in 3-K, Pre-K or LYFE programs follow the remote activities their program sets, the department says in its messages for families.
• Make sure your child has a working, internet-connected device and can sign in to their NYCPS Student Account before Tuesday.
• If you don't have a device, ask your school for a loaner. For login help, use SelfService.schools.nyc or contact the school.

Private, parochial and charter schools set their own calendars, so check with your school.

Parking

Alternate side parking rules are suspended on Tuesday for Election Day, according to the city Department of Transportation's 2026 ASP calendar. Parking meters remain in effect.
