Aug 10, 2014 12:02 am
The State Board of Elections reminds New York residents that to vote in the Sept. 9 primary elections for state and local offices, one must mail-in voter registration forms postmarked by midnight, August 15 and received by a board of elections no later than August 20. The voter registration form can be downloaded from the BOE's website: www.elections.ny.gov. If you have an established account at the Department of Motor Vehicles you may register online at the MyDMV site. You can also register or find forms at most state and federal government offices. Residents who have moved to a new county within the state 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 August 20. Anyone unsure whether they are registered, or wish to verify their current address, may look-up their status at the BOE website: www.elections.ny.gov. One can register in-person at the county boards of elections offices in Hudson and Catskill, but must do so no later than August 15 to be eligible to vote in the September primary. For more information on registering to vote in New York State, call your county board of elections or 518-474-1953 or visit our website: www.elections.ny.gov. Primary day, Sept. 9, the polls are open noon to 9 p.m. The general election is Nov. 4, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
