Upstate NY Gospel Magazine was able to learn more about the voting process from the Monroe County Board of Elections Voter Registration Coordinator, Annette Ramos.
Let’s talk about Early Voting. What is the purpose of Early Voting? Who can vote early? Where and when can I vote? When is my vote processed? Early Voting was first introduced in November 2019. During Early Voting days and times, a voter may choose to cast their ballot at any of the thirteen Early Voting sites in Monroe County that is most convenient for them. Each site is flexible enough to accommodate larger or smaller numbers of voters as needed during the nine-day period of Early Voting. Voting during Early Voting is the same as voting on Election Day (just sooner J). One of the benefits of Early Voting is that voters no longer have to wait until Election Day and vote at their assigned polling location. When you get to the Early Voting site, you will check in to vote using an electronic poll pad, receive your ballot printed with the candidates representing your districts, and cast your ballot on an electronic voting machine as in any other election. Each Early Voting location will have instructions available to familiarize you with the ballot, a Notice to Voter document, and a Bill of Rights. Poll workers are available at all sites to provide voters with further explanation or assistance. Any eligible Monroe County voter may participate and cast their ballot by this method.
None of the votes cast at Early V o t i n g c e n t e r a r e counted a n d reported until the n i g h t of the ection after 9pm with Election Day results Early Voting Locations 5 pm 8 pm M, W, F, Sat, Sun 9 – 5 pm T, TH 11 am-8 pm OCT-28 THROUGH OV 5, 2023.
