Election Day is coming up on November 4th. It’s a local election year, and our local government makes decisions on Title IX in local schools, indoctrinating children into gender ideology, and men in women’s spaces.  So make sure you vote!

Register to vote

The deadline to register to vote is this Saturday October 25.  You can check your registration online, and register online or in person at the Board of Elections.  If you need to update your registration (if your name or address has changed), you can do so by re-registering to vote.  Even if they do not process your registration by election day, you should go to your new polling location to vote. If they have not processed your registration by election day, you will need to cast an affidavit ballot at the polls.

Voting

There are three ways to cast your ballot this election.

1. Voting by Mail.  

The deadline to request a mail-in ballot is Saturday October 25.  Once you receive your ballot in the mail, and you fill it out, you can turn it in by mailing it back (postmarked by election day), or handing it in (by election day) at your County Board of Elections or at ANY pollsite in your county.  Once you mail it, make sure you track your mail-in ballot to make sure it is received — if your ballot is not received by the Board of Elections, you can cast a new ballot at the polls.

2. Voting in Person Early

The early voting period is Saturday October 25 through Sunday November 2.  Your early voting poll site is different from your election day poll site and hours vary by location. Look up your polling place and hours here.

3. Voting in Person on Election Day

Election Day is Tuesday November 4th.  Polls are open from 6am to 9pm.  If you work on Election Day, your employer is required to give you sufficient time off to vote.  Your Election Day polling place may be different from your early voting location.  Look up your polling site here (make sure to scroll down past the early voting information). 

Dealing with challenges

Sometimes the Board of Elections may make an error when processing voter registration.  If you go to your poll site and you’re not on the list of voters, and you think you should be on the list, you have the right to cast an affidavit ballot. The NY State Attorney General also has a hotline for dealing with voting issues.

Get other women to vote!

Lastly, multiply your impact by getting other gender critical women to vote!  Peer/friend outreach is one of the most effective ways to mobilize people to vote.  Contact three sex-realist women you know, and make sure they all have a plan to vote this election.
