__________________________
On all NYS ballots this November will be a vote on a proposal
to amend a constitutional amendment to permit
new Nordic ski and biathlon trails in the forest preserve
near Lake Placid in Essex County, within the protected
Adirondack Park forest preserve.
The proposal would exempt approximately 323 acres from the
"Forever Wild" clause to allow continued development of facilities,
while requiring the state to add at least 2,500 new acres
to the Forest Preserve as compensation.

Please note the following changes to the ballot procedures: NYS voters are no longer permitted to cast a ballot on a voting machine if they have already been issued an early mail, accessible, or absentee ballot for that election. Voters who have already been issued a ballot may cast an affidavit ballot in person, to be counted only if the voter’s early mail, accessible, or absentee ballot has not been received by the BOE. (If a voter submits more than one timely ballot and also casts an affidavit ballot, the last received ballot, either submitted in person during the election or by mail within the absentee return deadline, will be canvassed.)
