When and how do I vote?
There are three ways to vote in the election this June:
Voting on Election Day, June 24
Voting early, June 12-June 22
Voting absentee, no later than Election Day, June 24!
Voting on Election Day, June 24
Voting on Election Day is as simple as showing up and filling out your ballot! Find your polling place.
Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 9 p.m. While we suggest getting to the polls as early as you can, remember that if you get in line before 9 p.m., you have the right to cast your ballot!
Voting early
If you wish to cast your ballot before Election Day, you may vote early between June 14 and June 22. Early voting is in-person, but your early voting polling place may be different from your Election Day polling place.
You can find your early voting polling place here. Early voting is a great choice if you know you’ll be busy on Election Day, want to avoid long lines or just can’t wait to vote for Alexa!
Voting by mail
Absentee ballots are primarily for New Yorkers who will be away during in-person voting on Election Day or during the early voting period, or who are not able to make it to the polls because of illness, disability or any other reason.
You can apply for an absentee ballot online by June 14. You can also apply for an absentee ballot in person at the Kings County Board of Elections Office, located at 345 Adams Street, 4th Floor. You have until Monday, June 23 (the day before Election Day) to apply for an absentee ballot in person — meaning that you go to the Board of Elections, ask for your absentee ballot, and can fill it out right there. Essentially, it’s like another way to vote early, if you wish to do so.
You must either postmark your absentee ballot or drop it off at the Kings County Board of Elections Office no later than June 24. Remember to sign both your ballot and the back of the envelope, or your ballot will be invalidated.
Any way you vote is acceptable and encouraged! We recommend taking five minutes to make sure you know how to vote, and to come up with a voting plan beforehand. People who make a plan are way more likely to exercise their right to vote, and this right is important.
