Yesterday ( August 20th), Governor Cuomo signed election reform legislation that ensures every registered New Yorker has options on how to vote in the November 3rd Election during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The legislation signed into law also takes steps to ensure that every vote is counted.
Starting August 20th, all registered voters can request an absentee ballot if they are concerned about COVID-19. All Boards of Elections in New York State must count:
All ballots postmarked on or before Election Day (November 3rd) and received within seven days after Election Day (by November 10th).
All ballots without a postmark received on November 4th (the day after Election Day).
Even if you voted by absentee ballot in the June Primaries, you will need to request an absentee ballot for the November 3rd Election.

At one of the most important moments in our nation's history, these measures are crucial to a full and fair election and will make it easier for all New Yorkers to exercise their right to vote this November.
You can vote early in-person (October 24th – November 1st), you can vote on Election Day or you can vote using an absentee ballot. Make a Choice and Make your voice be heard.
