The League of Women Voters of New York State (League) is pleased to announce that materials for educating voters on early voting, with details for each county, are now available.
A new website, www.nyearlyvoting.org is live. On this website, voters can see details of early voting including:
·
What
does early voting do?
·
What
can I expect at the early voting poll site?
·
Do
I need to be registered to vote early or can I register at an early voting poll
site?
·
How
will every polling site have the pollbooks with a list of registered voters?
·
Will
the ballot look the same at early voting poll sites and general election day
poll sites?
·
When
will my vote be counted if I vote early?
·
Can
I change my vote if I vote early?
·
What
if my name is not in the paper poll book or electronic poll book?
·
What
if I moved or am moving during the early voting period?
Voters can also click on their county and find the early voting poll site locations and hours, as well as if they must go to an assigned poll site or can go to any poll site in the county.
Other voting reforms passed by the Legislature in 2019 are also described through a link on the website.
Voters are reminded that these poll sites are only for early voting and if they choose to vote instead on the General Election Day (November 5), they must go to their usual assigned poll site to vote. The new webpage can also be accessed through the League’s website at www.lwvny.org.
The League is a nonpartisan political membership organization open to men and women that encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
