Election day is Tuesday

By Wendy Post —

This has certainly been an interesting election year, as the battle for political power in the White House continues, culminating on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024, and during the General Election. In a country undoubtedly divided in this presidential election, Tuesday’s vote-rendering can take unexpected twists and turns, as we have seen over the past few years, before the results on who will be this country’s next leader are tallied. So, hang tight.

Polls are open on General Election day from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and with the following candidates presented on the ballot.

Electors for President and Vice President (vote for one): Candidates Kamala D. Harris and Tim Walz (DEM, WOR), Donald J. Trump and JD Vance (REP, CON).

United States Senator (vote for one): Candidates Kirsten E. Gillibrand (DEM, WOR), Michael D. Sapraicone (REP, CON), Diane Sare (LaRouche).

Representative in Congress, 23rd District (vote for one): Candidates Thomas A. Carle (DEM),

Nicholas A. Langworthy (REP, CON).

State Senator, 58th District (vote for one): Candidate Thomas Fellers O’Mara (REP, CON).

Member of the Assembly, 124th District (vote for one): Candidate Christopher S. Friend (REP, CON).

County Legislator, 3rd District (vote for one): Candidate Barbara Roberts (REP).

County Legislator, 6th District (vote for one): Candidates Andrew G. Fagan (DEM), Raymond C. Bunce (REP).

County Legislator, 7th District (vote for up to two): Candidates Keith Flesher (REP),

William H. Standinger III (REP).

Candor Town Justice (vote for one): Candidate Mari K. Townsend (REP).

Nichols Council Member, unexpired term (vote for one): Candidates James L. Campoli (DEM), LeeAnn Tinney (REP).

Tioga Supervisor, unexpired term (vote for one): Candidate Douglas Chrzanowski (REP).

In addition, one amendment to the state constitution will be proposed to the voters of New York State at this election. A copy of the proposal may be obtained by any voter at the Tioga County Board of Elections, 1062 State Route 38, Owego, or online at www.tiogacountyny.gov/departments/board-of-elections/.

This proposal would protect against unequal treatment based on ethnicity, national origin, age,

disability, and sex, including sexual orientation, gender identity, and pregnancy. It also protects against unequal treatment based on reproductive healthcare and autonomy.

A “YES” vote puts these protections in the New York State Constitution.

A “NO” vote excludes these protections from the State Constitution.

Early voting concludes on Sunday

The Tioga County Board of Elections is reminding voters that they have one more day to vote early (based on the print date of our publication) for the Nov. 5 General Election. Early voting has been taking place since Oct. 26, with heavy traffic reported. If you cast a ballot during Early Voting, you will not be allowed to vote on Election Day.

The final day of early voting is Sunday, Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Tioga County Board of Elections, 1062 State Route 38, Owego, N.Y. 13827.
