Overview
Voters with a plan are far more likely to actually vote. Take five minutes now to know where you’re voting, when you’re voting, and what you’ll see on the ballot.
Find Your Polling Place
Polling places can change between elections, even if you’ve voted at the same place for years. Confirm your assigned site before Election Day.
Consider Early Voting
New York offers an early voting period before Election Day at designated sites, which can mean shorter lines and more flexibility. Early voting sites and hours vary by county — check the current schedule for Livingston, Monroe, or your home county.
See What’s on the Ballot
Don’t wait until you’re in the booth to see the full ballot for the first time. Preview the races, ballot measures, and candidates ahead of time.
Know Before You Go
- Bring photo ID, especially if it’s your first time voting at that site.
- Know your polling place hours before you head out.
- Bring a friend or neighbor — voting together helps everyone follow through.
