Voting information
The voter registration deadline (Oct. 9) has passed. However, any currently registered N.Y. voter who has moved to another address in N.Y. and needs to update their registration can do so by filling out a new registration form and making sure it is received by the Board of Elections by Oct. 14. If you are moving within Broome County, you may complete this change of address form instead. The CCE will be collecting forms to deliver to the board of elections until 3 p.m. on Oct. 14.
Voting absentee? Request and return your ballot ASAP!
The New York legislature has passed temporary provisions to make it easier to vote absentee in the November general election. All N.Y. voters may vote absentee in November using the "temporary illness" excuse and can submit their request form now. Voters may request their ballot electronically through email or through the Board of Elections webform, in addition to existing mail or fax options. Absentee ballot request forms submitted electronically do not need to be signed. Absentee ballot requests must be submitted electronically or postmarked by Oct. 27, but should be requested ASAP.
Once you have received your ballot, the deadline to postmark your absentee ballot has been extended to Election Day, Nov. 3, but should be submitted ASAP. The Center for Civic Engagement has stamps available in our office (UU-137) for students who need one to mail in their ballot.
Voting in person
Registered New York voters also have the option to vote early in person. Early voting will take place from Oct. 24–Nov. 1 at the following locations in Broome County: the Broome County Public Library, the Oakdale Mall, the Taste of NY Building (Cornell Cooperative Extension) and the George F Johnson Memorial Library in Endicott. Early voting hours are available on the Broome County Board of Elections website.
The on-campus polling place (for students who are registered to vote at their on-campus address) will be held in the Events Center from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Nov. 3. Off-campus students can find their local polling place online.
