The Board of Elections has asked us to help spread the word about voting by absentee ballot in the June 23 Primary Election. Please reach out to your friends, family and others in your personal networks to apply for their absentee ballot as soon as possible so that we can protect our poll workers and make sure the Board of Elections can incorporate sound social distancing measures for those voters that choose to vote in person. Application for absentee ballot must be postmarked not later than June 22.
How To Request an Absentee Ballot
Visit votetompkins.com to download the application form and instructions. The form is now available as a fillable PDF form making it very easy for folks without a printer at home to download their form, add a digital signature, and email it to the BOE.
Governor Cuomo has decreed that the potential of contracting the COVID-19 virus qualifies as a “Temporary Illness or Disability” and one can check that box on an absentee ballot application as an excuse for needing to vote by absentee ballot.
The physical signature requirement for the Absentee Ballot has been temporarily suspended if submitted by email. This applies only to Absentee Ballot applications for the June 23 Primary.
Mail or email your application to the Tompkins County Board of Elections:
