Register to vote

To vote in New York City you must be a U.S. citizen, a resident of New York City for 30 days by Election Day, 18 years of age by Election Day, and you must be registered.

You can download and print a voter registration form from the Board of Elections Web site. Or you can get a postage-paid registration form by calling 1-866-VOTE-NYC

Your registration is permanent unless you move, change your name, or have not voted for five years. You may also register in person at your borough Board of Elections (or any agency participating in the National Voter Registration Act) on any business day throughout the year. Forms are available from your borough Board of Elections (see addresses below), town and city hall, post office, political parties, various state offices, and the League of Women Voters.

Non-city residents should check with their local county board of elections.
