Early Voting Locations Set In Mid-Hudson Valley

MID-HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Ready to vote? You will have to wait a little while longer in the mid-Hudson Valley before you can cast your ballot, but the mechanisms that allow everyone to vote are at least in motion.

You may already apply for an absentee ballot in New York. You may use the possibility of illness from the coronavirus as an excuse to vote by mail in the Nov. 3 election.

Here are deadlines and more information about voting.

On Monday, the online portal through which you may electronically request an absentee ballot became live. Read more about that here.

If you want to vote in person Nov. 3, the polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Due to the pandemic, polling locations may not have been finalized; you may not be able to vote at your normal polling site.

Early voting is another option, and that starts Saturday, Oct. 24 and continues through Sunday, Nov. 1.
