ELECTION DAY - NOVEMBER 3, 2020
There are three ways to vote this November. But first - are you registered? Need to change your address? If so, visit www.elections.ny.gov
1. ABSENTEE BALLOT
Deadline to request an absentee ballot online is
October 27 at absenteeballot.elections
(Please be advised that despite this deadline, the Post Office has advised that they cannot guarantee timely delivery of the ballots applied for less than 15 days before the election (October 18), so apply for it today.)

You will then receive the actual ballot in the mail.
- The ballot needs to be mailed back, postmarked no later than November 3. Read carefully and follow instructions. Many ballots are not counted because directions are not followed.
