In New York State candidates gain ballot access by passing petitions.
It is that time of year!
So just a friendly reminder that local political party members, candidates and their supporters are going door-to-door seeking signatures to get their choices on the ballot.
Registered voters can sign a petition within their party, it is not a commitment to vote for that candidate, it's just creating options for voting.
There are now multiple ways to request a ballot by mail in New York State.
A registered voter can request an Absentee Ballot if they will be absent from Broome County, temporarily ill, permanently ill and/or disabled, a primary care taker.
There is also now an Early Vote By Mail option, that allows a voter to request their Early Voting Ballot by Mail without an excuse.
