NEW YORK — New York City voters had abortion, crime and climate change on their minds Tuesday while they cast their ballots for governor and other key local races.
Polls across the five boroughs opened at 6 a.m. Eastern time and will remain available until 9 p.m., with more than 300,000 people having voted by 11:30 a.m., according to the city Board of Elections.
The race between Gov. Kathy Hochul and Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., is by far the most competitive contest being decided, and the one voters view as being most impactful.
