In 21 States, including New York, voters are not allowed to wear any campaign paraphernalia at the polling locations. Don't don your 'MAGA' hat, leave your 'Harris For President' pin in the car and forget about wearing your 'Trump 2024' t-shirt when you vote.

According to Democracy Docket, voters in New York can't have anything that shows a political party, candidate name or ballot issue on clothing, buttons and stickers within 50-100 feet of the polling station. Break the rules and you could be turned away.
