Marathon Day is one of my favorite holidays in NYC, we're still on the post-Halloween sugar high, an extra hour of sleep, an election(!!), open streets, and people doing something that's incredibly difficult and everyone cheering them on.
So yes, I waited an extra week to vote just to pick up the special sticker. 🗳️
For those in #NYC who haven't voted yet, my friend @brainwane's guide to all the judicial candidates was invaluable and I highly recommend it: https://harihareswara.net/posts/2026/2026-nyc-general-election-judicial-candidates/
I voted Yes on Props 1-4 and No on 5 (I expect it to pass), happy to explain if useful
@legoktm a US election on a Sunday? 🤯
@LucasWerkmeister in NY the early voting period starts two weekends before election day (9 days), Monday (tomorrow) is no voting, and then Tuesday is Election Day.
(every state and some counties/cities have their own policies)
@legoktm okay, I thought “an election” meant it was actually election day, sorry ^^
@LucasWerkmeister for me the election is anytime voting is open but I do think colloquially in the U.S. (and I suppose elsewhere too) the "election" is solely Election Day, I just don't like that framing
I love this 🧡
@legoktm 💚
