People may contact the St. Lawrence County Board of Elections to get a sample copy of their ballot today, and an Election Day hotline is available to St. Lawrence County residents.

Polls will be open until 9 p.m.

Those who are unsure of who they will be voting for and want to see, they may email gward@stlawco.org, include your address, and the board will send you a copy of the ballot for your district.

The emergency hotline was set up to ensure that all eligible voters are able “to cast an effective ballot in today's general election,” according to a press release from the state Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman.

Schneiderman urges voters to call the office’s hotline at 800-771-7755 or email civil.rights@ag.ny.gov at any time between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. to report issues or problems at the polls. All registered New Yorkers are eligible to vote in the election, regardless of party affiliation.

The attorney general’s office has operated the hotline since November 2012. During previous efforts the office fielded hundreds of complaints from voters across the state and worked with local election officials and others to promptly address issues encountered by voters at the polls.

They issued a letter to the State Board of Elections, emphasizing the importance of providing voters with provisional or affidavit ballots when they arrive at the right poll site, but cannot find their name in the poll book.
