New York Attorney General Letitia James today reminded New Yorkers that voting by mail is safe and secure, and urged voters who plan to vote by mail to request and return their ballots as soon as possible. With early voting beginning this Saturday, October 24, Attorney General James emphasized that New Yorkers can be confident their ballot will be counted, no matter how they choose to cast it. Saturday, October 24 is also the last day to request a mail ballot online or by mail.
The Office of the Attorney General (OAG)’s Election Protection Hotline will be available to help voters resolve problems from Saturday, October 24 through Wednesday, November 4. New Yorkers can call 866-390-2992 or submit a complaint online.
“No matter how they vote, New Yorkers should feel confident their ballots will be counted,” said Attorney General James. “Mail voting in New York is safe, secure, and trusted by New Yorkers in every corner of our state. When the federal government tried to attack mail ballots, we went to court and stopped it. I am urging New Yorkers not to let anyone shake their confidence in our election system. Request your ballot, send it back early, and make your voice heard.”…
