Daily News columnist William Hammond reminds readers that if they want things to change in Albany, to show up at the voting booth on primary day.

New Yorkers itching to clean house in Albany, be forewarned: The moment to act is coming sooner than you think.

Voters who wait until Election Day in November to vent fury at their notoriously dysfunctional and corruption-riddled state government are liable to miss the boat - especially if they’re Democrats living in New York City.

As a practical matter, the last, best chance to dislodge deadwood state legislators from seats in the five boroughs will be the Democratic primaries on Sept. 14.

That’s just two weeks from today, folks.

Mark your calendars in red. Figure out where your polling place is. Look up the names of your local senator and Assembly member. And exercise that voting finger.

Because Sept. 14 is the election that really counts when it comes to bringing much-needed change to state government, especially the Legislature.”
