What is an Early Mail Ballot?
On September 20, 2023, Governor Hochul signed Chapter 481 of the Laws of 2023, establishing the New York Early Mail Voter Act. This newly enacted legislation, which takes effect on January 1, 2024, and applies to all elections moving forward, establishes an additional method of voting early by mail.
For the June 25, 2024, State and Federal Primary Election
You may return the ballot in any of the following ways:
- Put it in the mail, ensuring it receives a postmark no later than June 25th.
