In New York, voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots well before Election Day via early voting.
Early voting in the Empire State starts on Saturday, Oct. 26, and runs through Sunday, Nov. 3, two days before Election Day.
You can find your early voting location by entering your address on the New York State Board of Elections website.
The deadline for registering to vote is Saturday, Oct. 26, via in-person, online, and mail.
Across the country, more than 18 million people had already cast their votes – either early in person or by returning mail-in ballots – as of Tuesday, Oct. 22, CNN reports.
In addition to the highly consequential presidential race, New Yorkers will vote on all of the state’s 26 congressional seats, as well as the US Senate race between Democratic incumbent Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Republican Mike Sapraicone.
There are also a number of state assembly and senate contests, and Proposition 1, which would expand the state’s Equal Rights Amendment to include:
“Ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, and reproductive healthcare and autonomy.”
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5.
