People across the state are headed to the polls Tuesday to vote in the mid-term elections.

Turnout is generally around 50 percent for mid-terms, but officials are expecting nearly 65 to 70 percent this year.

There are a few things you should know before you head to your balloting station.

1. You don't need an ID to vote.
But if you didn't register in advance of the 2018 election, you're out of luck this time around.

2. You should know where to find your polling place.
Visit the state's election website and type in your name, date of birth, county and ZIP code. Your polling place address will pop up!

3. What if there are problems as I try to vote?
There's help. Attorney General Barbara Underwood just announced an election day hotline for New Yorkers. The number is 1-800-771-7755. You can also email if you have any voting issues.

So who do I vote for?
That's your call! But you can look up who is on your ballot before you go.
