There are only a few hours left to cast your vote for this year's hotly-contested elections.
More than a million people across the tri-state had already gone to the polls early to vote ahead of Election Day. That tally is expected to climb even further by the time voting sites close their doors on Tuesday evening.
The outcome of Tuesday's election will shape the country’s future, determining whether the new White House has allies or skeptics on Capitol Hill — or faces a divided Congress like this past session, which has been among the most tumultuous and unproductive in modern times.
With the ever-escalating world of campaign fundraising, this election year stands apart: A whopping $2.5 billion is being spent to win the Senate and almost $1 billion on the House.
Here's what to know about when voting ends, but it's always best to check with your local county board of elections for the latest information and rules.
