EARLY VOTING, ABSENTEE, & MILITARY BALLOTS IN 2025
On September 20, 2023, NYS Governor Kathy Hochul signed Chapter 481 of the Laws of 2023, establishing the New York Early Mail Voter Act. This newly enacted legislation, which took effect on January 1, 2024, and applies to all elections moving forward, establishes an additional method of voting early by mail.
Applications for early voting or absentee ballots may not be submitted to the District Clerk more than 30 days before the election (April 21, 2025). A list of all voters to whom an early voting or absentee ballot was issued will be kept on file in the District Office and available for inspection by any qualified voter during regular business hours for the five (5) business days preceding the vote (Tuesday, May 13 through Monday, May 19, 2025) and at the polls (Tuesday, May 20, 2025).
1. Obtain and complete an APPLICATION
Applications can be obtained in multiple ways as follows:
A) Download an application here: Early Voting Ballot Application Absentee Ballot Application Military Ballot Application
B) Call or email the District Clerk to request an application by mail: (585) 468-2900 or tclark@keshequa.org
C) Pick up an application in person in the District Office during regular business hours (Monday to Friday, 7:00 am to 3:30 pm).
2. Return the APPLICATION to the District Clerk
If the application requests that the ballot be mailed to the voter, it must be received at least seven (7) days prior to the vote (May 13, 2025). Military application requests must be received at least 25 days prior to the vote (April 25, 2025).
3. Complete and return the BALLOT and ITS CORRESPONDING ENVELOPE
In order for your early voting, absentee, or military ballot to be counted, you must return it in its completed (signed, dated, and sealed), corresponding envelope, and it must be received by the District Clerk (by mail or in person) no later than 5:00 pm on the day of the vote (May 20, 2025).
