Judges will be available for election-related rulings. You can ask for an interpreter if you speak Spanish.
Sample ballots appear in both Spanish and English.
You can come to the Board of Elections in Mineola in person and get an absentee ballot no later than the close of business Nov. 6. It can be delivered in person to the board by Nov. 7 provided the application was made no later than Nov. 6. If mailed, it has to be postmarked by Nov. 6. In order to vote for someone whose name is not on the ballot, you can ask an election official to help you with a write-in ballot done on the machine. Make sure you do in fact want to use the write-in ballot before you open the door.
