Election protection hotline
Each year, for both the June primary and November general elections (and for the presidential primary every four years), OAG runs an Election Protection Hotline during the early voting period and on Election Day. The OAG volunteers will troubleshoot any issues, including working with local boards of elections when necessary.
During the early voting period and on Election Day, New Yorkers can call 1-866-390-2992 or submit a voter complaint.
