The State Board of Elections recently put out a statement reminding all state residents that the deadline to register to vote for the June 23 state, local and federal primaries, including the Democratic Presidential Primary and the Special Election in NY-27 is Friday. Mail-in voter registration forms must be postmarked by midnight, May 29, 2020.

New Yorkers wanting to register in-person may do so at their county boards of elections but must do so no later than this Friday, May 29, 2020. Please note 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 in 2020 has already passed.

Such a request was to have been submitted not later than Feb. 14.

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 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.
