Q: I am under isolation or quarantine. How can I vote?
A: Those under isolation or quarantine due to COVID-19 should not leave their homes, but are able to vote remotely as follows:
– After October 27th, all applications for absentee ballots must be made in-person at a Board of Election by November 2nd. A registered voter may designate someone to pick up their ballot for them. Only the person designated on the application may pick up and deliver your ballot.
– Applications for absentee ballots can be downloaded from here: https://www.elections.ny.gov/VotingAbsentee.html.
– Completed ballots can be returned by mail provided it is postmarked by November 3rd, or can be dropped off in-person by an individual other than the voter at a Board of Election, early voting location, or Election Day voting location without requiring that the absentee voter wait in line with in-person voters.
