John,
Tomorrow is what we call Golden Day in New York State. It's
the last day you can register to vote in this year's general election,
and the first day of early voting. That means you can register to vote
and go vote on the same day!
Your vote is your voice.
No matter what side of the aisle
you're on, I want all eligible New Yorkers to have the opportunity to
make their voice heard in this election.

Registering to Vote
The
last day New Yorkers can register to vote before the 2024 General
Election is October 26.
Eligible New
Yorkers can register to vote online, in person, or by mail.
Early
Voting
New
Yorkers can vote early in-person from October 26 to
November 3.
If
you’re voting early by mail, you have options for returning your
ballot. Click
here to
learn more about requesting and returning your early vote by mail
ballot.
If you registered
to vote on or close to the October 26 deadline and plan to vote in
person, your registration may not be updated in the voter rolls by the
time you get to your polling station. No matter what, you can always
request an affidavit ballot at the poll site and vote — even if a poll
worker can't find your voter registration. Once your registration is
confirmed, your vote will be counted!
Voting on Election
Day
Election Day is November 5 and polls are open statewide from
6:00am to 9:00pm.
If
you have questions about voting, the best place to find accurate
information is the State
Board of Elections or your local board of elections.
Get out and vote,
New York!
Gov. Kathy
Hochul
