Resources for Voting in the Election

You can participate in this historic election if you are a US citizen. You just have to plan ahead a little. Here’s some information on what to do:

• You must be registered to vote 25 days before the next election.
• If you’ve never voted before or if you’ve moved recently, you may need to register to vote.
• You can do that online as long as you have an ID from the DMV.
• Once you register, you can request an absentee ballot online, too, as long as you do it by October 27.
• After that, you can still submit a request, but you have to do it in person.
• After you get the ballot, you just fill it out and drop it in the mail.
• New York State also has early voting, which begins on Saturday, October 24th.
