New State Law - If You Request an Absentee Ballot You Can Not Vote on a Voting Machine

 


New Absentee Ballot Law

Due to a recent change in the law, New York State voters are no longer permitted to cast a ballot on a voting machine if they have requested to vote by Absentee Ballot.
 
Voters who have requested to vote by Absentee Ballot can still vote in-person using an Affidavit ballot at early voting or election day.
 
The affidavit ballot will be kept separate until the election is completed. Election officials will verify whether the voter’s absentee ballot has been received. If the voter’s absentee ballot has been received, the affidavit ballot will not be counted. If the voter’s absentee ballot has not been received, the affidavit ballot will be counted.
