The Daily Freeman is reporting absentee ballots for the upcoming general election are available now online, by mail-in application, or in person, but voters who decide to vote absentee can no longer change their minds and vote in person. Anyone who has been issued an absentee ballot cannot vote in person on a machine, authorities have said. “This is true whether they have submitted their absentee ballot or not,” according to the Dutchess County Board of Elections. “Should a voter desire to vote in person they must complete an affidavit ballot.” To apply for an absentee ballot individuals can visit their local Board of Elections, until Nov. 7. Voters can also call or email their local board with questions. Absentee ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 8, the final day of in-person voting, in order to be counted. The deadline to register to vote is Oct. 14. Read more in the Daily Freeman.
