“Tuesday, people work, they have obligations with their families, children’s soccer games…whatever…that may not be a good day for some people,” said Dustin Czarny, the democratic election commissioner for Onondaga County. “Now they can choose a time that’s convenient for them.” Early voting ends on Sunday, November 3^rd.

Czarny is happy with the turnout so far. By the end of the early voting period, he said he would love to see 20,000 people vote. The polls are open until 2 p.m. today.“ Come on down,” Czarny said. “There’s no real waits.”

“I’ve heard from a lot of our people that things were going pretty well,” said Dustin Czarny, the chair of the New York State Election Commissioners Association’s Democratic caucus. “Any time you’re putting new technologies into the field, you’re going to run into some snags. But that’s another reason for doing early voting; you have nine days, and if you have a problem, people can come back. Getting this first day out of the way, I think things are going to go much smoother after this.”

Onondaga County Elections Commissioner Dustin Czarny said only a few minor problems were quickly corrected at the county’s six polling sites. Those problems included outlets without power and paper jams in ballot printers.

“We’re pretty happy with how today went,” Czarny said. “We saw steady flows all day long at all of our polling sites.”

“I’ve testified a few times in Albany about making sure that the state helps these counties pay for this reform, because it’s a vital reform. We don’t want counties doing the bare minimum just because of the dollar amount .” DUSTIN CZARNY
