Due to a recent change in law, New York State voters are no longer permitted to cast a ballot on a voting machine, in person, if they have already been issued an absentee ballot for that election. Voters who have already been issued an absentee ballot can still vote in person using an affidavit ballot, or you can simply drop off your completed absentee ballot at a polling location.
