 League has advocated for the expansion of absentee voting options for the November election.  Our efforts were successful and now all New Yorkers have three ways to vote in the general election.
 

1.  Vote by Absentee Ballot:

  • Apply to vote by absentee ballot checking "temporary illness" on the application;
  • Apply to vote by absentee by mail, phone, or online: https://absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov/;
  • Apply to vote by absentee ballot (by phone, online or mail) by October 27;
  • Mail or return your absentee ballot by November 3 (absentee ballot will be mailed to you in late September or early October).

Military and overseas ballots can be tracked ballot at https://nysballot.elections.ny.gov/TrackMyBallot/Search

 2.  Vote Early:

  • Voters can vote early between Oct. 24 and Nov. 1;
  • Poll site locations and hours vary throughout the state;
  • Voters (except in NYC) can go to any early voting poll site in their county to vote early;
  • Find your early voting poll sites and poll site hours here: https://my.lwv.org/new-york-state/voting-2020-faqs

 3.  Vote on Election Day November 3

 In New York State, voters are allowed to submit an absentee ballot and then decide to vote in person instead during early voting or on November 3.  Absentee ballots signatures are compared to poll book signatures from early voting and Election Day. Voters who are determined to have voted in person will have their absentee ballot disqualified.
