Czarny also reminds voters that if you show up at polls wearing campaign or political items from candidates, you’ll be asked to cover them up.

Newsmakers: A discussion with local Board of Election Officials – WSYR9
This week on Newsmakers, Dan’s guests are Dustin Czarny and Michele Sardo, the Democratic and Republican Commissioners for the Onondaga County Board of Elections, respectively.
The two talk to Dan ahead of Election Day.
Commissioner in a Car: The Data Show
I leave my car for a bit to talk about the registration numbers in Onondaga County heading into November election and why I think this is going to be an historic turnout for a mid term election. I touch on Voter Registration, New Enrollments, 10 year party and Geographic changes, and absentee ballots requests for this year as compared to the last few elections. If you have a question leave a comment and I will answer. Note: This was a live video that was interrupted so at the 7 minute mark it has been fused together. Ask a question and I will answer offline. Get your absentee ballot app, check your polling place, and /or registration at http://www.ongov.net/elections
Commissioner in a car: 50k votes
On today’s episode I go into what it means to get 50k votes, party order, and voter registration preview. Ask questions about anything to do with the November election and I will answer live or off line.
Flier with absentee ballot creates buzz – WSYR9
But the real buzz is all about where the flier came from. The first page front and back is where the partisan message is and on the inside is the absentee ballot you can fill out and send in. It’s the little line right on the bottom of that second page that indicates the flier is not from the Onondaga County Board of Elections.
“It is not something we would send out,” said Democratic Board of Elections Commissioner Dustin Czarny. “Anything we send out is non-partisan and neutral.”

Onondaga County voter registration spikes ahead of midterm election – CNYCentral.com
About 5,600 of those new registrants are Democrats, 2,300 are Republicans, and 4,500 did not identify with a major party.
“There’s definitely an awakening to politics. Local elections matter and yes, there is a strong partisan bend to this registration as well,” Czarny said.
Absentee ballots mailed out in Onondaga County as state Supreme Court candidates remain unresolved – WRVO
“This is part of the problem with the judge taking so long on this,” Czarny said. “Now we have these appellate cases and reconvening of conventions, we’re getting farther and farther in the clock for the elections, and people have to start making choices and mailing in absentee ballots.”
Czarny said he does not know if new absentee ballots would be mailed out if the courts rule that the Republican and Conservative parties cannot hold new conventions so close to the election.

CNY absentee ballots going out today as though lawsuit never happened – Syracuse.com
Albany County Judge Roger McDonough cleared the way by delaying his own order that had kicked the GOP candidates off the ballot. By delaying his own ruling, that gives the Republicans enough time to renominate their candidates.
Czarny said a convention to renominate the candidates was planned for this weekend. If done correctly, that would keep the Republicans on the ballot.
Absentee ballots to be mailed starting Wednesday – CNYCentral.com
The judge gave Republicans another week to re-do their convention process and get those four names back on the ballot, but with election day approaching, the judge ordered a stay on the legal proceedings so these ballots could be sent out to ensure people had enough time to cast their votes.
“Which is a good move that we all agree with,” Dustin Czarny, the Democratic Commissioner of the Onondaga County Board of Elections, said.
Commissioners in all of the six affected counties were anxious to get these out in the mail and into the hands of voters.
“Yes because every day that goes by people are becoming disenfranchised…people are leaving…people are going out…takes time to get to them and then get back to us,” Czarny said.
