REGISTER TO VOTE! HERE IS HOW:

While there are many ways to get your hands on a registration form, in all cases you will need to supply the actual completed form to the Board of Elections―there is no online registration. You may register any of the following ways:

Register in person at your local DMV office when you apply for a driver license or ID card.

Register in person at your county Board of Elections (find your local office).

Register in person at one of these state agency offices.

Ask the elections board to send you an application by filling out the form online. Once you get the registration form you will need to mail the completed form to your county Board of Elections.

Or, you can download the full registration form in English or Spanish. Print it, complete it, sign it, and mail it to your county Board of Elections.

Visit the New York State Board of Elections website for detailed information about registering to vote, upcoming elections, and more.
