Voting Information

Voting is what democracy is all about - there's nothing that's more important when it comes to your government.

We've included some information below we hope you'll find helpful - if you have any questions, you can click here to go to the Suffolk County Board of Elections or call them at 631-852-4500.

Absentee Voting

If you plan to be out of town or otherwise unavailable on Election Day, absentee voting is the way to go. You may vote absentee if you are:

  • Absent from your county or, if a resident of New York City absent from said city, on Election Day.
  • Unable to appear at the polls due to temporary or permanent illness or disability; or because you are the primary care giver of one or more individuals who are ill or physically disabled.
  • A patient or inmate in a Veterans' Administration Hospital.
  • Detained in jail awaiting Grand Jury action or confined in prison after conviction for an offense other than a felony.

You can get more information on absentee voting here and/or download the absentee voting form below.

Note: If you're mailing in the form, it must be received no earlier than 30 days before the election and no later than seven days before.

  • be a United States citizen;
