20 races throughout Broome County will be decided tomorrow.

And today, the Board of Elections is busy gearing up for Election Day 2009.

But some voters will not be casting ballots in their usual spots.

Action News reporter Reed Buterbaugh explains how the new voting machines will change some people's polling stations.

A reduction in polling sites is causing chaos for the Board of Elections.

They've been inundated with calls by voters, who want to be sure they're making their choice at the right place.

"We consolidated some polling sites because we had some issues in some," said Mary Pines, Deputy Commissioner with the Board of Elections. "Quite a few of them were under construction others after our primary found out were a little too small"

Election workers and voters got their first real test with the new voting machines during September's primary.

And the board expects a greater turnout on Tuesday.

"We have enough ballots for 100 percent, over 100 percent of the voters we are definitely, we're ready," Pines said.

Fewer voters are expected than last year's presidential election, but that hasn't made preparing any easier for election officials.

"This year in it's own way has been just as busy a lot of the local issues here are just as important as the presidential in my opinion and I feel voters really feel the same way," said Kara Briggs with the Board of Elections.

Poll workers checked in to review their assignments for the big day.

"I've got a binder at home with all the information in it and I read through it again a little bit last night," said Timothy Oefelein of Endicott.

"It will be different to do it with the paper ballots but I have had a chance to practice but I didn't work the primary so it'll be different," said Beatrice Tamkins of Binghamton.

Binghamton and Johnson City are expected to draw in the largest crowd of voters because of the mayor races.

And people in Vestal will elect town board members.

There are 190 polling stations throughout the county and will be open from 6 am to 9 pm tomorrow.

According to registered voters, Democrats have an edge in two hotly contested races.

Democrats hold a nearly 44-hundred person advantage in Binghamton.

Outnumbering Republicans 11,114 to 6,716.

Less than 500 voters separate Democrats and Republicans in Johnson City.

3,365 Democrats are in the village compared to 2,857 Republicans.

The board of elections received 478 of the 736 absentee ballots they issued in Binghamton.

Three-fourths of the 225 ballots issued to Johnson City voters have been received as well.
