Where Sighted: SARATOGA COUNTY, NY (WRGB) — Saratoga County Board of Elections is increasing its extended hours for early voting amidst high voter turnout. All locations will be open from 8AM to 5PM on Friday, November 1st, Saturday, November 2nd, and Sunday November 3rd. The locations remain the same.”
For the second time in a presidential election, New Yorkers can vote early, and it’s clear many are taking full advantage of it.
High early voter turnout is resulting in long lines and extended wait times at polling sites across the Capital Region.
In Saratoga County, election officials say more than 18,000 voted early– that’s roughly 10-percent of registered voters in the county casting their ballots in the first four days of early voting.
