New York elections

Request deadline is a received deadline. In-person application allowed until 2026-11-02. Return: postmark counts (postmarked no later than Election Day (Tue Nov 3, 2026)); ballot must be received by 2026-11-10.

Applications (online portal with a NY.Gov ID, mail, or in person at the county board of elections or an NVRA agency) must be RECEIVED by the county board of elections by Sat Oct 24, 2026 (10 days before; also the first day of early voting). Changes of address received by Oct 19 must be processed for the election. No same-day registration. Election Law 5-210 also speaks of a postmark 15 days before (Oct 19) for mailed forms, but the State Board's 2026 materials state only receipt by Oct 24 (see uncertain). Oct. 24 is both the registration deadline and the first day of early voting. CEIR lists that overlap as a one-day same-day registration window ('Golden Day'); the State Board's pages do not describe same-day registration, so same_day_registration stays false.

By mail: postmarked no later than Nov 3 and received by the county board of elections by Tue Nov 10, 2026. In person: to the county board of elections office by 9 p.m. Nov 3, to any early-voting poll site in the county Oct 24-Nov 1, or to any poll site in the county by 9 p.m. (close of polls) on Nov 3.
