What if I'm not permitted to vote?

Please ask the Inspectors to call our office at 315-366-2231 and we can check your eligibility. If you are not on the poll-list, it may be because your registration form was not received or, for a primary, because you aren't enrolled in a party. If you believe that you are eligible you can ask for an affidavit ballot. After the election the Board of Elections will check its records and your affidavit ballot will be counted if you are indeed eligible to vote. If not, you will receive a notice that you are not eligible and the registration application on the affidavit envelope will be used to register you for future elections. Or you can see a judge (contact through the Board of Elections) and ask for a court order to vote on the machine.
