Information on Affidavit Voting

If you are registered to vote in New York and moved within the state without updating your voter registration address, you can likely still vote! Go to the polling place for your current address and let the poll worker know that you are a currently registered New York voter and need to request an affidavit ballot. Complete the ballot carefully using your current local address. 

Do I need ID to vote? 

New York voters do not typically need to show ID to vote. However, if the board of elections is unable to verify your identity based on the information you provided on your voter registration form, you may be asked to show ID the first time you vote.
