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.
