Vote: What’s Your Voting Plan?

New Yorkers, what’s your voting plan?

  • Verify your voter registration and polling location on the NYS Board of Elections website.
  • Absentee voting is an option for those concerned about COVID-19. The last day to apply in-person is November 2 (learn how). Signed absentee ballots may be returned in any of the following ways: (1) Put it in the mail ensuring it receives a postmark no later than November 3; (2) Drop it off at an early voting poll site on or by November 1; (3) Drop it off at a poll site on November 3 by 9pm; or (4) Drop it off at your County Board of Elections Office no later than November 3 by 9pm.

  • Health safety: Polling places across New York will feel different this year. Locations will be set up to allow social distancing and may result in longer lines outside the polling station to make sure we vote safely.
