ABSENTEE VOTING

The deadline to request an absentee ballot for the election is October 25 for online requests and November 3 for in-person requests. The last day to postmark your ballot is November 4; postmarked ballot envelopes must be received by your Board of Elections by November 12. If you have already requested an absentee ballot:

• ·  Track the status of the absentee ballot you requested here. The system updates every 24 hours and applications may take up to 72 hours to appear.
• ·  Please call 1-866-868-3692 or email AbsenteeHelp@boe.nyc with questions. Assistance is available in multiple languages.
• ·  If you don’t feel comfortable mailing your ballot or can’t drop it off in person, Invisible Hands volunteers will deliver your ballot for free! Click here to request a volunteer.

New York State voters who requested an Absentee Ballot can still vote in person but are no longer permitted to cast a ballot on a voting machine. To vote in person, you must request an Affidavit ballot at early voting or election day poll sites.
