Voter Registration Closes Soon

The State Board of Elections is reminding all state residents to register to vote for the November 6th, general election. Mail-in voter registration forms must be postmarked by midnight October 12th and received by a board of elections no later than October 17th to be valid for the upcoming general election. The voter registration form can be downloaded from our website: www.elections.ny.gov. You may also register online through the Department of Motor Vehicles at their MyDMV site. You can also register or find forms at most state and federal government offices in addition to finding forms at the post office or your local library. Residents who have moved to a new county within the state are reminded that they must re-register from their new address. Those who are currently registered and have moved to a new address in the same county should notify their county board of elections in writing of their move no later than October 17th. People who are unsure whether they are registered, or wish to verify their current address, may check their status at the State Board’s website: www.elections.ny.gov.
