NYC Mayoral elections are tomorrow (Tuesday, November 5th, 2013)! Before you head out to the polls, read up on the Mayoral candidates:

Democrat: Public Advocate, Bill de Blasio
Republican: former MTA Chief, Joe Lhota
Independent candidates: Adolfo Carrion, Jack Hidary, Erick Salgado, Randy Credico, Carl Person and Joseph Melaragno

Be sure to verify your polling site as some sites have changed. One important, often overlooked, part of elections are Ballot Measures that require citizen votes. This year in New York, there are six important measures being brought to the populace:

• Authorization of Casino Gambling in New York State
• Additional Civil Service Credits for Disabled Combat Veterans
• Exclusion from Indebtedness Contracted for Sewage Facilities
• Adirondack Land Swap–settling disputed claim of forest preserve in Hamilton County
• Adirondack Land Swap–to allow NYCO Minerals Inc. to continue mining operations in Essex County
• Increasing Age of Supreme Court Justices and Judges of the Court of Appeals

To read up, visit the New York State Board of Elections site for details about each of these measures. WNYC is a great source for simple breakdowns of each of these measures.
