Absentee, Affidavit and Accessible Voting
Absentee and Affidavit Ballot Review
During the ballot canvassing process, the voter's county Board of Elections determines whether the voter's absentee ballot has already been counted.
- If the absentee ballot was counted, the affidavit ballot is set aside and is not counted.
- If the absentee ballot was not received and counted, the affidavit ballot is counted.
Voters may use the New York State ballot tracking tool to check whether their absentee or affidavit ballot was counted for an election.
