The first thing you should do is check your registration status in NY. You can check to see if you are registered at your current address and if your registration is up to date. You can look up your registration status here: https://voterlookup.elections.state.ny.us/votersearch.aspx

If you need to update your registration status in anyway you can register to vote here: http://rockthevote.com/register .

Also if you do have any questions about your registration you can always call your local county board of elections: http://www.elections.state.ny.us/CountyBoards.html

you can be an'active' voter by going to vote on nov 2nd

You are able to vote.

Use our handy "FIND YOUR POLLING PLACE" widget on the right to find out where your polling place is. Bring along a government issue ID.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Good voting!

We recommend contacting the board of elections in your previous county to get a determination on that question.

You are still a registered voter and we hope you can vote, but you should ask them for a final answer.

No, you don't.

Your party affiliation only matters during the primary elections. Some parties require you to be affiliated with them in order to participate in their primaries.

Since the November 2nd election is the general election, your party affiliation doesn't matter. You will get the same ballot as everyone else and you can vote for whomever you wish.

To register in New York you must be:

-be a United States citizen;
-be 18 years old by December 31 of the year in which you file this form (note: you must be 18 years old by the date of the general, primary or other election in which you want to vote);
-live at your present address at least 30 days before an election;
-not be in jail or on parole for a felony conviction and;
-not claim the right to vote elsewhere.
