ALBANY – The State Board of Elections Thursday reminded all residents that the deadline to register to vote for the June 23 state, local and federal primaries, including the Democratic Presidential Primary is today, Friday. Mail-in voter registration forms must be postmarked by midnight. 

New Yorkers wanting to register in-person may do so at their county boards of elections but must do so no later than today. The state board said that due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, mail-in registration is recommended.  Contact your local board of elections for more information about in-person registration in your area.  

The deadline for any registered voter wishing to change their enrollment for the purpose of voting in a specific party’s primary election(s) in 2020 has already passed. Such a request was to have been submitted not later than February 14, 2020.

The voter registration form can be downloaded from our website: www.elections.ny.gov. Alternatively, if you have an established account at the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles, you may register online at their site (https://dmv.ny.gov/more-info/electronic-voter-registration-application). You can also register or find forms at most state and federal government offices, including your local post office.

Persons who are unsure whether they are registered, wish to verify their current address, or find out where to vote, may look-up this information at our website: www.elections.ny.gov.
