Election Day is a state holiday in New York, resulting in the closure of state and local government buildings.
Despite the closure of government offices, the Long Island Rail Road and mass transit will operate on a normal schedule.
The Time Off to Vote Notice, or New York State Election Law Section 3-110, states that an employee may take off up to two hours without loss of pay to vote if they do not have time to attend the polls between the beginning and end of their shift.
