Don't let Hurricane Sandy disenfranchise you. We need every vote!
Offices are OPEN over the weekend! You can walk in and VOTE NOW during the extended weekend hours and on Monday, if you will be away, think you will be away, or have storm-related issues getting to the polling place on Tuesday.
The NY State Board of Elections and the NYC Board of Elections have added hours for IN-PERSON absentee voting.
This information was tacked on to my earlier diary Volunteers needed in NYC but it might get lost, so. . .
Locations and phone numbers below the fold. Please, help your neighbors vote!
IN-PERSON ABSENTEE VOTING hours are extended!
You still need an approved reason to vote absentee in NY, but the BOE is making it much easier.
WNYC Radio:
For any storm-weary voters considering skipping town before Election Day, in-person absentee voting is an option at local Board of Elections offices through Monday. But under state law, voters can only cast absentee ballots if they have a qualifying reason, such as being out of town, disabled, or responsible for primary caregiving for someone disabled.
