The address and the political party listed on your voter registration form determines both your poll site and the contests in which you are eligible to vote.
Because of the role the home address plays in the electoral system, New York State law requires all registered voters to notify the Board of Elections within 15 days of a change of address to preserve their voting rights.
If you are a registered voter and want to join a political party for the first time or change your political party membership, your change of party enrollment must be received no later than February 14th of the year of the primary in which you wish to vote.
You can report a change in your home address or party affiliation online or complete and submit the NY State Voter Registration Form by mail or in person.
