NEW YORK—When voters head to the polls on Tuesday, Sept. 10, they will be using lever voting machines to cast their ballots, not the electronic machines used in the 2012 presidential election.
The old machines were brought back with approval from Gov. Cuomo in July after the New York City Board of Elections argued it could not tally the primary votes before a runoff on the state-of-the-art optical scan machines.
Residents who have lived in New York City for years have long-used the antiquated machines, but those new to the city who are used to voting on the digital scan machines may have questions.
The Campaign Finance Board has provided a step-by-step instruction guide below. Poll workers will also be on hand at polling locations to assist voters.
