As Election Day approaches, New York voters are facing crucial deadlines for voter registration and voting. The voter registration deadline is October 26, the same day that early voting begins. Important election dates and deadlines include the start of early voting on October 26, the deadline to bring early voting ballots to a poll site on November 3, and the end of early voting on November 3.
The general election is on November 5, with polls open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. The deadline to mail and postmark early mail and absentee ballots is also on November 5. After the election, county elections officials will begin reporting results on November 5. Absentee ballots must be received by a county elections office by November 12 to be counted. County election offices must certify results by December 5, with the State Board of Canvassers certifying the general election by December 9.
Voters can track their ballots and find their polling place on the NY State Board of Elections website. The next president of the United States will be inaugurated on January 20. With these important dates in mind, New York voters are encouraged to ensure they are registered and informed about the election process to make their voices heard in this crucial election.
