Absentee ballots now available to Nov. 3 election

Sep 02, 2020 6:33 am
Dan Clark reports for New York Now that New York voters can now request an absentee ballot for the November elections online through a special portal, absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov. Absentee ballots are only issued for a reason, but this year voters can claim the COVID-19 pandemic as a reason for voting by mail. "In line with the sweeping reforms we have implemented to make it easier for New Yorkers to exercise their right to vote.... we launch the online portal through which every registered voter concerned about COVID-19 can obtain an absentee ballot,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. Election day is Nov. 3. There are no drop boxes locally for leaving votes. Absentee ballots must be received by the Board of Elections by 9 p.m. Nov. 3 in one of the following ways:
• Through the mail, the ballot must be postmarked no later than Nov. 3.
• Ballots can also be hand-delivered to the County Board of Elections office no later than 9 p.m. Nov. 3.
• Absentee ballots can also be hand-delivered to an early voting poll site between October 24 and Nov. 1.
• And absentee ballots can also be hand-delivered to an in-person poll site by 9 p.m. on Nov. 3.
