Early voting this year runs for nine days, from Saturday, Oct. 29, through Sunday, Nov. 6. The opportunity, first offered to New Yorkers in 2019, allows registered voters to cast their ballots before the traditional Election Day, which this year is on Tuesday, Nov. 8.

In Monroe County, there are 14 locations where a registered voter can cast their ballot early. None of the ballots cast during the designated early voting process will be tallied until after the polls close on Election Day.
