  I'm away at college, can I vote for my district via online?

  2 0 Unfortunately, no. There is no online voting in the United States. The only way to vote from out-of-state is to request an absentee ballot. The deadline to request an absentee ballot has passed. Sorry to not have better news. Rock the Vote answered in Voting as a Student about 1 year ago Answer and comment »

  If i have moved and did not let the voters register know, do i go to my former polling place or can I go on my new area?

  0 0 It is too late to update your address on your voter registration. You are still registered to vote at your previous address, so you may be able to cast your ballot at your former polling place. You should contact your local board of elections for a determination: http://www.elections.state.ny.us/CountyBoards.html.
