Gov. Andrew Cuomo has signed executive order that will allow displaced voters to cast ballots by affidavit at any polling site they can reach.
The order permits voters to sign affidavits that they're legally registered to vote in the presidential and state races and cast ballots at any open polling site, even those outside their neighborhoods.
But they won't be able to vote for state legislative candidates unless the polling place is within the proper legislative district.
Voters can see a sample ballot here.
In New York City, some schools and other buildings designated as polling sites suffered damage or loss of power from Sandy. The city Board of Elections is advising voters to check its website for the latest information on polling sites.
Voters can enter a New York City address into the site's poll locator to learn the polling place for that address.
There is also a poll site app for iPhone, Android or Blackberry.

Displaced voters who choose to vote via provisional ballots can go to any polling place in the state. They will be given simple ballots allowing votes to be cast only for president, U.S. Senate and two referenda questions.
