Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and New York City ballots carry five charter questions, including one that would end the City Council's approval power over outdoor dining.
Gov. Hochul faces Republican Bruce Blakeman, and the attorney general, comptroller, Congress and the Legislature are also on the ballot [16] [29]. The city questions cover public space, contractor paperwork, road safety and city property, building permits, and budget reserves [27]. Question 3 would shorten review of road safety projects and speed the disposal of unused city property, subject to City Planning Commission approval [27]. Streetsblog, which backs Questions 1 and 3, reminds voters to turn the ballot over [97].

An unvaccinated child in Lewis County died of measles, four weeks after Gov. Hochul declared a state disaster emergency over the outbreak.
State and county health officials announced the death Monday and did not release the child's age or sex [119] [128]. The emergency lets nurses order measles testing, and the state is offering Lewis County help with outreach and vaccination [119]. The virus can infect an unvaccinated person up to two hours after a sick person has left the room [119]. Two MMR doses are typically given around ages 1 and 5, and babies as young as 6 months are eligible for an early dose during outbreaks [128].

Education officials proposed closing SEED Harlem, with 40 students, and the Urban Assembly School for Global Commerce, with 112, at the end of this school year.
Chalkbeat reports these are the first formal closure plans this school year, and that a Bronx middle school, I.S. 224, is expected next [112]. Officials also want to move The Center School from West 84th Street to the P.S. 165 campus at West 109th to ease crowding it shares with P.S. 9 [112]. City rules require an Educational Impact Statement and a public review before the Panel for Educational Policy votes (NYC Public Schools, Regulation A-190).

Barn owls nested in Manhattan this year, in what bird experts say is the first time anyone can recall: two adults and five fledglings in a rooftop water tower on West 75th Street. When workers began dismantling the tower, the state Department of Environmental Conservation issued a cease-and-desist order, and New York Road Runners canceled a pre-marathon drone show to protect the family. Crews installed a new nesting box and were cleared to resume Monday, so the building's residents can get clean drinking water. The owls appear to have left [130].
