What to know about early voting in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut

  • New York City voters heading to the polls for the November 3 general election are deciding on five ballot proposals aimed at streamlining government operations, including permitting, contracting, and fiscal management.
  • Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Commission on Government Efficiency advanced these proposals to cut administrative burdens and accelerate city operations following public hearings across the five boroughs in July.
  • Specific measures include simplifying outdoor dining approvals, reducing contractor paperwork, and establishing a centralized construction permitting hub; COGE estimates these changes could save businesses up to $1,800 in costs.
  • Other proposals set a 12% target for the city's rainy day fund to strengthen fiscal reserves, though critics argue removing mandatory public hearings could reduce accountability for street safety projects.
  • Early voting runs through Sunday, November 1, with polls open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., while Election Day follows on November 3, allowing residents multiple opportunities to cast ballots.
