Election commissioners say the Board of Elections does not send texts regarding voter information. To check your polling place, you can go to onvote.net or call (315) 435-8683. For any information, including changes to your polling place, “It would go through the OCBOE Facebook and Twitter first, it would go out in a press release from us to the media, and it would be on our website,” said Czarny.

“Congressional primaries, primaries in general are low turn out events,” Czarny said. “We’re still looking at historically between 13 and 18%. If we’re seeing high turnout, we may see like a 20% on the Democratic side, and around 10 to 15% on the Republican side.”

“We live in a time with increased threats from foreign actors, from AI, from just, you know, social media, TikTok,” Czarny said. “All of these places are ripe for bad or low-informed actors to make mistakes and cause a lot of problems.”

“The polling places they are putting out are so egregiously wrong,” Czarny said of the texts. “They have the wrong addresses, the wrong picture of a polling location, or a wrong map. I don’t know where they got their information from.”

“If Liverpool is successful, we’ll have over half the villages in Onondaga County moved to November,” Czarny said. “And I think other villages are watching this to see how popular it is amongst their citizens, and whether they might want to think about doing this in the future.”
