How to vote in New York State
Looking to vote in the general election on Nov. 8, 2016? Here are important details to know.
VOTER REGISTRATION DEADLINE
It was Friday, Oct. 14, 2016, at 11:59 p.m., but if you missed the deadline, you get a one-day grace period to register in person because it’s a presidential election year. There will be multiple locations on Long Island where you can do so on Saturday, including Roosevelt Field mall and community centers in Nassau, and six town halls and some American Legion halls in Suffolk.
HOW TO FIND YOUR POLLING PLACE
Enter your information on the New York State Board of Elections' voter registration search page.
ABSENTEE BALLOTS
If you won't be able to vote in person on Election Day, you can request an absentee ballot by mail through Tuesday, Nov. 1. Or you can ask for one at county board of elections offices through Monday, Nov. 7.
