New Yorkers can vote early for the November 3, 2020 general election.
Early voting starts on October 24, and runs until November 1, 2020.
Absentee Voting
This year, registered voters can vote three ways: By absentee ballot, in-person early voting, or in-person voting on Election Day, November 3, 2020.
All registered voters can request an absentee ballot if they are concerned about COVID-19 for the November 3 election. Signed absentee ballots can be returned to drop boxes without a wait at over 300 locations statewide.
REQUEST AN ABSENTEE BALLOT
You may return the ballot in any of the following ways:
Put it in the mail ensuring it receives a postmark no later than November 3
Drop it off at an early voting poll site between October 24th and November 1
Drop it off at a poll site on November 3 by 9pm
Drop it off at your County Board of Elections Office starting September 8 until no later than November 3 by 9pm (see list of County Board of Elections Offices below)
New Yorkers report receiving ballots with wrong name, voter addresses
Voters in New York City said they received their mail-in ballots this week but were surprised to find they were printed with the wrong names and voter IDs and included incorrect return labels.
Some voters said they received absentee ballots mislabeled as the official ballot for military members, while others said the envelope meant to return their ballot did not bear their name or address.
How does in person early voting work? I feel like that's the best option.
I don't trust those absentee ballots. Voting in person seems easier, but I wouldn't be surprised if voting the day of turns into a cluster-mess along the lines of the school reopening. Especially since many polling places are schools, and it's going to be a whole thing if all these adults crowd into the buildings to vote. It's kind of scary no one in city government has mentioned this concern yet... probably means they haven't given it any thought, and won't until two days before.
For Cuomo and other democrat officials, "New Yorkers" and "voters" can include anyone from Joe Schmo to illegal Pradeep from Pradesh India and Juan Pepe Perez from Mexico, also illegal. Their aim is not to have a legit democracy - their aim is to allow anyone with a pulse (and dead people too) to vote so they can steal the election.
All these early voting and mailed in ballots will not be all counted. Where are they storing them and how do you know they are received and counted? The law states they cannot be counted until election day, so where is that being stored and how will you know?
There are already reports of ballots being discarded or tossed by any human worker that mules these letters. It's too obvious which zipcodes support which candidate so simply hiring someone to toss ballots out is a cheap dirty tactic.
Are you able to use a ballot box and skip the US Postal Service?
