Voting and the Storm


Please pass along this information to anyone you know who is not able to get to their polling place because of Sandy.

New York: The board of elections has approved an extension of the deadline for completed absentee ballots to be received (until November 19), but they still must be postmarked no later than this Monday, November 5. (After Friday, you can write a letter authorizing a representative to pick up an absentee ballot application and ballot for you at your county board of elections.)

Connecticut: In-person voter registration deadline was extended to Thursday, November 1, at 8 pm, but applications may still be faxed as long as the original arrives prior to the close of the polls on Tuesday.

New JerseyTo vote electronically, displaced voters may submit a mail-in ballot application either by e-mail or fax to their county clerk. Once an application is approved, the clerk will electronically send a ballot to the voter by either fax or e-mail in accordance to the voter’s preference. Voters must return their electronic ballot – by fax or email – no later than November 6, 2012, at 8 p.m.

Pennsylvania: Absentee voters in counties where election officers were closed this week have until 5 p.m. Monday, 11/5 to submit their ballots, either by mail or in person. The extension applies only to counties where the office of the board of elections was closed due to the storm.
