This year\u2019s election will be a combination of mail-in voting, as well as in-person on Nov. 3.<\/p>\n<p>A deadline the local BOE wanted to remind residents of is Oct. 14, the date when any change of address needs to be filed. In other words, if you have recently moved into Tioga County, you should contact the local BOE to ensure that you have your address on file, and to ensure you are registered. Email to <a href=\"mailto:VoteTioga@co.tioga.ny.us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">VoteTioga@co.tioga.ny.us<\/a> or call (607) 687-8261. You can also visit <a href=\"http:\/\/voterlookup.elections.ny.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">voterlookup.elections.ny.gov\/<\/a> to find out if your registration is up to date.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the pandemic this year, mail-in voting, as well as early voting, has been authorized.<\/p>\n<p>According to the BOE, Early Voting will take place on Oct. 24 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Oct. 25 from noon to 5 p.m., Oct. 26 from noon to 8 p.m., Oct. 27 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Oct. 28 from noon to 8 p.m., Oct. 29 and Oct. 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. through the Tioga County Board of Elections, located at 1062 State Route 38 in Owego.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also have a drop box,\u201d said Wahls, adding, \u201cBallots are picked up twice a day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Toombs added that residents should get their absentee ballot as soon as possible if they are mailing in their vote.<\/p>\n<p>As for the General Election on Nov. 3, Toombs stated that 164 poll-workers are ready to cover the county\u2019s 41 districts. She did note, however, that they could always use more workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProvided COVID doesn\u2019t get worse and the current workers don\u2019t back out,\u201d said Toombs, \u201cwe have enough workers. It would be helpful to have sanitizers, however.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wahls agreed, stating that COVID is creating much more work than they would normally have during an election year.<\/p>\n<p>As of Thursday, according to Toombs and Wahls, 3,600 residents of Tioga County, N.Y. have requested absentee ballots.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf concerned about in-person voting, apply for a ballot now,\u201d echoed Toombs as they prepare for a busy election season.<\/p>\n<p>You can call Tioga County\u2019s BOE at (607) 687-8261 for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the General Election just weeks away, the Board of Elections (BOE) is reminding residents to make sure they apply for an absentee ballot if&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":81535,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
