Central New York polls will open for early voting June 13, giving voters 10 days to submit ballots ahead of the 2020 New York primary election for state and federal offices.
A change in state law enacted last year allows early in-person voting at designated polling places in each county.
Registered primary voters will be able to submit a ballot on any day between Saturday, June 13, and Sunday, June 21.
No polling sites will be open on Monday, June 22, the day before the primary election.
Election officials say the extended period for early voting will help prevent crowding at polling sites and ease concerns about social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo also eased restrictions on absentee ballots for the primary election, giving all state residents the option to vote by mail during the pandemic.
All eligible primary voters will receive an absentee ballot application in the mail along with a postage-paid return envelope.
