Early Voting
The Monroe County Board of Elections continus to strive to provide the best voter experience possible, giving voters more options of when and where they can vote. Early Voting offers voters an opportunity to cast their vote before Election Day. During Early Voting days and times, voters may cast their ballot at any one of the multiple Early Voting sites in Monroe County.
How to Vote Early
- Choose any Early Voting location in Monroe County (locations coming soon)
- Check in to vote at the Early Voting location using an electronic poll pad
- Receive and cast your ballot on an electronic voting machine
Additional Information for Early Voters
- All Early Voting locations will have voting instructions, a Notice to Voter document, and a Bill of Rights.
- Election Inspectors are available at all sites to provide assistance to voters.
- Affidavits (provisional ballots) available on Election Day are also available at Early Voting centers to make sure everyone can complete a ballot even if for some reason they were not in our files.
- According to election law, New York State voters are no longer permitted to cast a ballot on a voting machine if they have already requested an absentee ballot for that election. Voters who have already requested an absentee ballot can still vote in person using an affidavit ballot.

- If you vote during the Early Voting period, you are NOT eligible to vote again on Election Day.
