What's At Stake at Locally in Tuesday's Election

On Tuesday, residents head to the polls to select their leaders in government.

Tom Suozzi challenges incumbent County Executive Edward Mangano, and the latest polls released Saturday night say Mangano has a double digit lead. The District Attorney's race is also on the ballot pitting Democrat Kathleen Rice, the incumbent, against Democrat Howard E. Sturim.

In the Town of North Hempstead Supervisor race, Democratic candidate Judi Bosworth squares off against Dina De Giorgio.  

Also, in Legislative District 10, Ellen W. Birnbaum challenges Jane F. Centrella.

But Election Day is 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.
