  Can I register to vote on voting day?

  0 1 Unfortunately, New York does not have same day registration. You should be sure to change your registration right away to make sure you can vote next election. Wish we had better news. Electionland answered in Registering to Vote about 1 year ago Answer and comment »

  Can I vote in Dutchness County if I registered in ny, ny?

  0 0 Ideally, you would vote at the polling place associated with the address you used to register to vote. If you need to look it up, just use the FIND YOUR POLLING PLACE tool on the right-hand side of this page. You could also go to your nearest polling location. If you are not on the rolls, you will be allowed to a provisional ballot. After the election, the elections officials will determine whether you are a registered and eligible voter and if they will count your vote. Not ideal but better than not voting. Remember to update your information before the next election. Electionland answered in Voting as a Student about 1 year ago Answer and comment »

  How do I know if I'm registered?

  2 0 Unfortunately, New York does not make it easy to find out. Many states have one simple online look up system, but there is not one available in NY. To verify your voter registration, you'll have to contact your local elections office. Some county elections officials allow you to check the status of your voter registration through their website, by telephone, or both. Here's the list: http://www.elections.state.ny.us/CountyBoards.html Once you figure that out, you can use the handy FIND YOUR POLLING PLACE widget on the right of this page to find your polling location.

  how can i vote in florida as a new york state resident

  0 0 If you are a New York State resident, you cannot vote in Florida. In general, you have to vote in the state you reside in. If you are actually a Florida resident and temporarily in New York, you need to apply for an absentee ballot. It is too late to apply for this election, but you can contact the Florida Elections Office to get the low down.

  Do you have to share which party line you will be voting under at any point during the process?

  0 0 You do not have to share this information. You can voluntarily disclose that when you register to vote and if you choose to participate in a party primary. Hope that helps. Don't forget to vote tomorrow. Electionland answered in Registering to Vote about 1 year ago Answer and comment »
