In New York City we have 5 counties, often called boroughs. Each county has one county board of elections (their addresses and phone numbers are below).

 

There is also one central Executive Office, called the Board of Elections in the City of New York, at 32 Broadway, NY NY 10004.  212-487-5300. Fax 212-487-5349   Their web site is http://www.vote.nyc.ny.us/   The Executive Director is John Ravitz. The commissioners usually meet in public session on Tuesdays at 1:30 on the 6th floor of 42 Broadway. It is best to call on Tuesday morning to confirm the time and place, because sometimes the meeting is elsewhere or at a different time.

 

Each borough has 2 Commissioners of Elections, one Democrat and one Republican. At this time there is no Republican commissioner from the Bronx, pending designation of a new commissioner.

 

As of 9/17/06, the commissioners are still looking at both technologies, Paper Ballots and Optical Scanners, and DRE touchscreen and pushbutton electronic voting machines. A lot of misinformation has been given to them by vendors.
