POLITICSEarly voting starts in New York and New Jersey today. The candidates for New York Governor both hit the streets to make their cases to New Yorkers yesterday. Eyewitness News reportSaturday, October 24, 2026 11:31AMNEW YORK (WABC) -- Early voting began Saturday in New York and New Jersey, giving voters across the tri-state area an opportunity to cast ballots ahead of Election Day. Both candidates in New York's gubernatorial race spent Friday campaigning in New York City as the early voting period got underway. Gov. Kathy Hochul and her Republican opponent, Bruce Blakeman, made their cases to voters across the five boroughs. Mayor Zohran Mamdani was expected to cast his ballot at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of several polling locations in New York City. Early voting will continue for more than a week, allowing voters in New York and New Jersey to avoid the Election Day rush. Hochul entered the early voting period with a significant lead in public polling and has sought to strengthen support in New York City. Blakeman, meanwhile, has worked to gain support in the city, a traditional Democratic stronghold, while criticizing Hochul's relationship with Mamdani.

Eric Apps had an inkling of who would get his vote in Toronto’s municipal election, but the lawyer wanted a second opinion before making his final decision. In Parkdale-High Park, his usual safe choice in longtime councillor Gord Perks was taken away when the 63-year-old decided to retire. The race for the city’s west-end ward has ballooned to 10 candidates — none of whom Apps is familiar with. He turned to a system he was familiar with: Claude, Anthropic’s artificial intelligence chatbot. Apps asked the bot for the top five polling candidates in his ward and their policies on issues such as bike lanes, housing and property taxes. “It laid them all out in a very easily digestible format,” he said. Apps is not the only one turning to AI for election information. During Quebec’s provincial election earlier this month, an estimated 40 per cent of the province’s voters turned to AI chatbots and received false and outdated information about the election, according to McGill University researchers. Many Quebec news outlets don’t allow chatbots to access their websites, so their reports cannot be mined for users’ queries. Story continues below advertisement
