 2025 General Election

 

You don’t have to wait until Election Day to vote in NYC. The ballot is the same, no matter when you choose to vote.

There are two ways to vote early:

  1. Vote at your early voting poll site
  2. Vote by early mail ballot

Your early voting poll site is based on your home address that’s currently registered with the New York City Board of Elections (BOE).

Poll sites and hours can change from election to election, so always check before you go. Your early voting poll site may also be different than your Election Day site.

Find your poll site.
