Election Day is coming up Tuesday, and if you’re unsure where to cast your ballot in New York, here’s how to locate your polling site:
Where can I find my New York polling place?
The New York State Board of Elections offers an online tool to find your voting location. You’ll need to provide your name, five-digit zip code, birth date and county where you live.
This tool will show you where to go vote on Election Day. It also lists early voting sites in your county, but remember that early voting ended Sunday.
Can I vote at any polling place in NY?
Not on Election Day. Voters must go to their assigned polling site to vote in person on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
During early voting, registered voters could vote at any designated early voting site within their home county. The early voting period ended Sunday.
When do New York polls open on Election Day?
Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
What do I need to bring to vote in New York?
You don’t need ID or a Board of Elections card to vote. But bring your driver’s license in case poll workers need to check your ID if your signature isn’t on file or to confirm a name change.
Can I vote by mail or absentee ballot?
The deadline to apply online for a mail or absentee ballot was Oct. 26.
However, registered voters can still request an absentee ballot in person at their county Board of Elections by the end of the business day on Monday, Nov. 4. For more details on requesting a ballot, visit https://elections.ny.gov/request-ballot.
Can I drop off absentee ballots at a NY polling place?
Yes. You can bring your completed and sealed absentee ballot to any poll site in your county by 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
You can also drop off completed absentee ballots at your County Board of Elections Office by 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
When are absentee ballots due in NY?
Tuesday, Nov. 5. Mailed ballots must be postmarked no later than Nov. 5 and received by Tuesday, Nov. 12.
