How to Vote by Mail — NY-21 Primary, June 23, 2026
Voting by mail in New York is simple, and any registered voter can request an early mail ballot and vote from home. Here's how.
Step 1: Request your ballot
Apply for an early mail ballot one of these ways:
Deadline to request a mailed ballot: Saturday, June 13, 2026. Your request must be received by this date — not just postmarked — so apply now. If you want to pick up a ballot in person instead, you have until June 22.
Step 2: Fill out your ballot
When your ballot arrives, mark your choices and follow the instructions in the envelope. Then:
Place your ballot in the Security Envelope.
Sign and date the outside of that envelope — this step is required, and an unsigned ballot won't count.
Seal it, and place it inside the Return Envelope (postage is already paid).
Step 3: Return your ballot
By mail: postmark it no later than June 23 (it must arrive at your county Board of Elections by June 30), or
In person: drop it at any early voting site, any Election Day poll site, or your county Board of Elections office by 9:00 p.m. on June 23.
Don't wait until the deadline — mail it back as soon as you've voted.
