Vote Early By Mail

To the Editor:

We wanted to make sure the community is aware that ALL New York voters now have an additional method of voting: the option of voting early by mail. Any registered voter may take advantage of this option. Unlike absentee voting, no excuse is required to vote early by mail. Absentee voting is still an option, but absentee voting is only available under certain circumstances, like a disability or being out of town on Election Day.

For this new, early voting by mail method, any registered voter may apply for an early mail ballot in one of the following ways:

-Using the online Ballot Request portal
-By printing and mailing the Early Voting by Mail Application
-If you are visually impaired and require a ballot with accessible features you may apply using the online Accessible Absentee Ballot Application portal
-By going in-person to the Westchester County Board of Elections, 25 Quarropas St., White Plains, NY 10601; OR
-By designating another person to deliver your application in-person to the Westchester County Board of Elections, 25 Quarropas St., White Plains, NY 10601 and receive your ballot

The last day for the Westchester Board of Elections to receive an application for an early mail ballot by mail or by online portal is October 26, 2024. The last day to apply for an early mail ballot in person at the Westchester Board of Elections is November 4, 2024.

In-person voting is still available to all voters. For those choosing to vote in person, in-person early voting is October 26-November 3, 2024, at any of the early polling locations in Westchester County. Election Day is November 5, 2024. Then, voters must vote at their designated polling location.

Make sure your voice is heard this election!

Respectfully,
Alissa Baum and Myra Saul, Co-Chairs of the Scarsdale Democratic Town Committee
