An election district is the smallest unit of election geography in New York: a few blocks, sometimes a single large building. Everyone in an ED votes at the same poll site and gets the same ballot. Hover or tap the other outlines to see their ED numbers.

What is on your ballot

Four races decide who represents you, one statewide and three by district. These are the ones worth knowing before you walk in.

Register to vote

Your registration has to be received by a board of elections by Saturday, October 24. New York has no same-day registration, so October 24 is the last day for online, mail and in person. Moving? The deadline to update your address is October 19. You can register if you are a U.S. citizen, 18 by Election Day, and have lived at your address for 30 days by Election Day. Registering is free.

Online
The fastest way. Register or update your address at e-register.vote.nyc. You will need the ID number from a New York State driver license, learner permit, or non-driver ID. No DMV ID? Use the State portal at elections.ny.gov, or the paper form below.
By mail
Print the form, fill it out, sign it by hand, and mail it to Board of Elections, 32 Broadway, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10004-1609. It has to arrive by October 24, so mail it early. To have a form mailed to you, call 1-866-VOTE-NYC.
In person
Any borough Board of Elections office, any DMV office, or a State agency registration site, by October 24. In Brooklyn: 345 Adams Street, 4th Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11201, 1-718-797-8800.
Not sure?

Two things worth knowing
Two things worth knowing. Poll sites move. The Board of Elections mails a notice before every election, and the assignment shown here is the one the Board has on file right now, so check back in late October before you go. Candidates shown are from the State Board of Elections certification of September 3, 2026. Civil Court judges are certified separately by the City Board of Elections and are added here when that list is posted.
If something is wrong

Call 1-866-VOTE-NYC (1-866-868-3692). The Brooklyn office of the Board of Elections is at 345 Adams Street, 4th Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11201, 1-718-797-8800. You can check your registration and request a mail ballot at vote.nyc. If you are told you cannot vote, ask for an affidavit ballot. They have to give you one.
