Absentee Ballots & Early Voting
Qualified voters may apply for an absentee ballot or a military ballot.
Absentee Ballots
Voters may apply for an absentee ballot if they are a patient in the hospital or unable to appear personally at the polling place due to illness; required by duties, studies, occupation or business to be outside of the county on the vote date (a brief description of such duties, studies, occupation or business that requires such absence would need to be provided on the ballot application); on vacation outside of the county; detained in jail awaiting grand jury action; confined in prison after conviction of an offense other than a felony; detained in jail awaiting trial, and accompanying a spouse, parent or child outside of the county on the vote date. Absentee ballots are not automatically mailed to all registered voters.
Early Voting
Early ballot voting is available due to the new Early Mail Voter Act, effective Jan. 1, 2024. Early voting is possible without any reasons needed for voting early. Similar to absentee ballot voting, you must fill out an application to vote early. There are separate applications for early voting or absentee ballot voting, but the application process and deadlines are the same for both.
Military Voting
Individuals serving in the military on the day of the vote, or who have been discharged within 30 days of the vote are also eligible to receive a ballot upon receipt of a military ballot application. A military voter’s spouse, parent, child or dependent who is accompanying the military voter is also eligible for a military ballot application.
All ballot applications are available online and at the F-M District Office: 8199 E. Seneca Turnpike, Manlius. Residents can also contact District Clerk Sarah Gridley or by phone (315) 692-1200 to request a ballot application.
