Early voting is underway across New York State ahead of the 2026 General Election on Tuesday, November 3. Registered voters can cast their ballots in person before Election Day, with nine days available to vote early.

Where Can You Vote?
Voters can find their designated early voting location, verify their registration and check other election information through the official New York voter lookup tool: Check Your Registration and Find Your Polling Place.
In most counties, voters may use any designated early voting center within their county. In New York City, voters are assigned a specific early voting location, so it is important to check the correct site in advance.
You do not have to wait until Election Day. Early voting allows registered voters to cast their ballots at a time that works best for them. Early voting hours are not necessarily the same every day, and schedules differ by county.
Bring identification if required. Most New York voters who have voted before do not need to show ID. Certain first-time voters who registered by mail or online and did not provide an accepted identification number may be asked to present identification.
Already have a mail ballot? Voters who received an early mail or absentee ballot should follow the ballot instructions carefully. Completed ballots can generally be returned by mail or delivered to an authorized election location. Check the official state website for the applicable deadlines and return options.
With early voting now underway, New Yorkers are encouraged to check their registration, confirm their voting location and make a plan to participate in the November 3 election.
