Early votingNew York’s State Board says early voting for the 2026 general election runs from October 24, 2026 through November 1, 2026. Early voting happens in person, and local county boards set the hours. Voters may use their county’s assigned early voting center; New York City uses one assigned early voting site.Official details ↗

Absentee or mailFor the November 3, 2026 general election, the State Board says absentee or early mail ballots can be returned by mail if postmarked by November 3, 2026 and received by November 10, 2026, or returned in person to the county board by November 3, 2026 at 9 p.m. It also says ballots may be brought to an early voting site in the county between October 24 and November 1, 2026, or to a poll site on November 3, 2026 by 9 p.m. The site lists absentee eligibility reasons, including being away from the county, illness or disability, caregiving, or being a resident/patient of a VA hospital.Official details ↗

What may still change

I could not verify any certified statewide ballot measures for New York’s November 3, 2026 general election from an official New York State Board of Elections page or official voter guide in the sources I found. The official board pages I found point to the 2026 general election and ballot certifications, but I did not find a statewide ballot proposal page for 2026 like the 2024 and 2025 proposal pages. Because of that, I am not listing any items.
I also did not find an official fiscal analysis or official voter-guide text for any certified 2026 statewide ballot measure in the sources I found.
If New York later certifies a statewide proposal for the 2026 general election, it should appear on an official Board of Elections ballot-proposal page or certification document. I would need that official page to complete the request.
The New York State Board of Elections has a certification of offices for the November 3, 2026 general election, but the official ballot-certification page I could access did not expose the candidate names for that election in the page text I could retrieve. The official PDF for offices to be filled was accessible only as a search snippet and not downloadable through the tool, so I could verify the offices on the ballot but not the full certified candidate list from the official source in this environment.
I therefore cannot reliably list every certified candidate and party for New York’s 2026 U.S. Senate race and statewide races from the official certified candidate list alone here. If you want, I can try a second pass using other official NYSBOE pages or a county/state public reporting source, but that would go beyond the single official certified list you requested.
The State Board’s pages show dates for the November 3, 2026 general election, but county boards set early-voting hours and exact local site details.
I did not infer any deadline. I used only the dates stated on the official State Board pages.
If you want the exact early-voting hours or your county’s ballot-drop locations, those come from your county board of elections, not the state page.
