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.

Statement from Speaker Adrienne Adams on the City’s File of Appeal to the New York State Supreme Court Ruling on Municipal Voting Law for Non-Citizens

 

The City of New York filed a notice of appeal indicating its intention to fight the Richmond County judge’s ruling last month invalidating Local Law 11 of 2022. The City believes that the judge erred in finding that the law was inconsistent with the State Constitution, Election Law, and the Municipal Home Rule Law, and is hopeful that the appellate court will reverse this erroneous ruling.

Speaker Adrienne E. Adams issued the following statement:  

“We stand firm in our commitment to empowering immigrant New Yorkers to participate in our local democratic process. With today’s appeal, we are sending a clear message that New York is a city of inclusion. We look forward to seeing the court rule in favor of Local Law 11 and the City’s appeal.”
