Notes for the absentee voter:

Once the ballots are printed, you can apply for, receive and cast your ballot all in one visit to the Board of Elections. Ballots are ready about 4 weeks prior to each election.

If you requested we mail you your ballot and you don't receive it 10 - 14 days before the election, please call us (607 274 5521).

In New York State you may not vote in a Primary Election unless you are enrolled in a political party holding a primary. Absentee ballots are not issued to anyone not enrolled in a party for a Primary. Party changes are effective immediately between July 7th through February 14th.  There is an enrollment change blackout period between February 15th and July 6th.  

If your plans change and you are able to personally appear at your designated polling place on election day, you may vote in person but not on the voting machine.  Absentee voters who go to the polls, must vote by Affidavit Ballot.
