Polling places will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Election Day, and some voters in East Hampton will cast ballots in a new location. 

Those who live in Election Districts 5, 11, and 16 and previously voted at the Emergency Services Building on Cedar Street will now do so at the East Hampton Library. All other polling places will be the same as in the last election. 

In Montauk, voters in Districts 6, 10, 18, and 19 will vote at the Montauk Playhouse Community Center. In Amagansett, the polling place for Districts 3 and 12 is the firehouse. The Springs Firehouse is the place to vote for those living in Districts 4, 9, 15, and 17. In East Hampton, voting in District 1, 8, 13, and 14 will be at the high school. Voters on the East Hampton side of Sag Harbor, in District 2, will cast ballots at Pierson High School, and those in Wainscott's District 7 will vote at the Wainscott School. 

Registered voters who do not know their district or polling place can look them up at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov.

Early voting continues through Sunday at Windmill Village on Accabonac Road in East Hampton and at the gym at the Stony Brook Southampton campus. Anyone registered to vote in the county can do so at those locations, regardless of the election district they live in. Those spots will be open today and tomorrow from noon to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
