VOTING BY ABSENTEE BALLOT
THE SAFEST WAY TO DO YOUR PART!
If you are an eligible voter, you must STILL fill out and submit this application in order to receive an absentee ballot.
VOTING EARLY
You can visit the link below and select your county or borough or hover over the map to find your local Early Voting options and vote-by-mail details.
Pre-Registration
17-year-olds who will be 18 by the end of the calendar year can pre-register to vote. On your 18th birthday, your voter registration application will be fully processed.
Important – New York State Does Not:
Offer same day registration and does not automatically register eligible citizens to vote when they go to a government agency, like the DMV.
If You've Moved:
New York requires registrants to live in the state for at least 30 days before registering to vote.
Documentation Requirements:
When submitting a voter registration application, no additional documents are required for your registration to be processed. The state confirms your citizenship and eligibility through the information provided on your registration form, such as your state-issued license/ID number or the last 4 digits of your SSN.
Voting Rights Restoration:
In New York, the voting rights of convicted persons are automatically restored upon completion of one's sentence, but these individuals must re-register to vote.
Interstate Voter Rolls Accuracy & Maintenance:
New York does not participate in any coordinated effort with other states to compare voter rolls for maintenance purposes.
