From CUNY Queens College President Frank H. Wu: There has been a tremendous buildup to this year’s Election Day, and it is finally here! If you have not yet had the opportunity to vote by absentee ballot or at an early voting site, I encourage you to get out and vote! This process is how we transform the abstract ideal of democracy into reality. You may either vote in person at your polling site (find your poll site at https://findmypollsite.vote.nyc/) or drop off your comple...ted absentee ballot by 9 pm at a poll site or the County Board of Elections. Please note: Not all early voting locations will be available for ballot drop off on election day. If you have any questions about voting, go to https://vote.nyc. Let us not let the opportunity to participate in our country’s great democratic election process pass us by.
