Voter Prep

The New York State Absentee Ballot Application for the June 23 primary arrived today here at Gossips Central. If you haven't received yours yet, it should be arriving soon. An arrow in the margin marks the reason we may all use for requesting an absentee ballot: "Temporary illness or physical disability (this includes the risk of exposure to COVID-19). Every voter may select this reason."


The ballot application comes with a postage-paid envelope, so fill it out, sign it, and send it back as soon as you can. The deadline for submitting the application is one week prior to the election, or Tuesday, June 16, but don't wait until then. The Board of Elections will be processing thousands more requests for absentee ballots than they ever have before. To ensure you get your ballot in a timely fashion, submit your application right away.

There's no word yet on when we can expect to receive absentee ballots for the HCSD budget vote and school board election.

  1. I contacted the HCSD yesterday and spoke with Leslie Coons. She verified that I was listed and told me that the ballots should be received in the next couple of days.

  2. I got mine in the mail, filled it out, scanned it in and emailed it to the email address provided on the letter. Did this at 7PM last night - and just got a confirmation email from the board this morning confirming receipt.

    Quick and easy with a confirmation to boot!
