Vote by Mail (Absentee Voting)

Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a law August 20 that allows registered New York voters to request absentee ballots because of the pandemic. If you do not want to vote in person because of COVID-19, you must request an absentee ballot by October 27. Don’t wait, do it today.

Request Your Absentee Ballot

Request your absentee ballot here: nycabsentee.com

Or call 212-886-2100.

If your reason for voting absentee is the pandemic, check the box for “Temporary illness or physical disability” on the absentee ballot application.

Cast Your Absentee Ballot

Once you fill out the absentee ballot and sign the envelope properly, you must return it by mail no later than November 3. Or you can drop off the ballot at the New York Board of Elections office: 200 Varick Street, 10th Floor.

If you choose to vote on Election Day, remember to wear your mask and maintain six feet of distance.
