Where Do I Find Who and What Is on My Ballot?
Use this helpful guide from the School of International and Public Affairs, whosontheballot.org, to search your address and find every ballot issue and person on the ballot. You can also consult the NYC Votes Voter Guide for information on candidates and issues.
What Do I Need to Know About the Change in Absentee Voting Law?
According to SIPA's whosontheballot.org, due to a recent change in the law, New York State voters are no longer permitted to cast a ballot on a voting machine if they have requested to vote by Absentee Ballot. Voters who have requested to vote by Absentee Ballot can still vote in-person using an Affidavit Ballot at early voting or election day poll sites.
Is Ranked-Choice Voting Still a Thing?
Ranked-choice voting is definitely still a thing, but WILL NOT be used in the Nov. 8 General Election because this election is for state and federal offices. New York City uses ranked-choice voting only in primary and special elections for Mayor, Public Advocate, Comptroller, Borough President, and City Council.
