Ahead of the Nov. 3 election in New York State, early voting will run for nine days, from Oct. 24 through Nov. 1. The voter registration deadline is Oct. 24, and New York City voters can vote during early voting only at one assigned polling site.
Ahead of the Tuesday, Nov. 3 election in New York State, early voting will take place over nine days, from Saturday, Oct. 24 through Sunday, Nov. 1. The New York State Board of Elections says early voting hours are set by each county board of elections, so voters should check with their local board before heading to the polls.
In New York City, voters can cast early ballots only at one polling site assigned according to their place of residence. Outside New York City, voters can vote at any early voting site within their county. Voters can find their polling site on the NYC Board of Elections poll site locator (findmypollsite.vote.nyc) or the state Board of Elections voter lookup site (voterlookup.elections.ny.gov).
Registration and Address Change Deadlines
According to the NYC Board of Elections, the deadline to register as a new voter is Saturday, Oct. 24. Voters who have moved are advised to submit their change of address by Monday, Oct. 19. Applications for mail-in (absentee) ballots can be submitted at nycabsentee.com, and voters are advised to double-check the application deadline against the Board of Elections' official schedule.
Voting on Election Day
Voters who do not vote early can vote at their assigned polling site on Election Day, Nov. 3, from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Because the early voting site and the Election Day polling site may differ, voters should confirm the location in advance. In this election, New York State will elect statewide offices, including governor, as well as U.S. House members and state legislators.
