Special Election Day: 3 Council Races in Queens, Staten Island

If you live in the 21st District (in Queens), 32nd District (also in Queens), or 49th District (in Staten Island), it's time for you to vote for a new City Council member! If your City Council members were once Hiram Monserrate, Joseph Addabbo, or Michael McMahon (all of whom have moved onto higher office), you can vote—or out what City Council district you live in here. Polls are open until 9 p.m. and the NY Times explains why the candidates will appear without party affiliations on the ballots. Oh, and those voting in Staten Island will have to deal with paper ballots, because of the "last minute" reinstatement of a candidate.
