Concerned about sending your absentee ballot in the mail? You have other options, according to the Tioga County Board of Elections. Voters can return their absentee ballots using any of the following methods. <\/p>\n

A clearly labeled and secure absentee ballot drop box is installed near the entrance to the Health and Human Services Building, located at 1062 State Route 38 in Owego, N.Y. This building houses the Tioga County Board of Elections and the Early Voting Center. <\/span><\/p>\n

The drop box is available for ballot drop-off until 9 p.m. on Election Night. Bipartisan election staff members collect deposited ballots daily, and security cameras continuously monitor the box. <\/p>\n

Voters can drop off their voted absentee ballots directly at the Board of Elections, 1062 State Route 38 in Owego, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, during the extended office hours on Oct. 20 and 22 of 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., or any additional time the office is open for Early Voting. <\/span><\/p>\n

Early Voting dates and times are Saturday, Oct. 24, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Sunday, Oct. 25 from noon to 5 p.m.; Monday, Oct. 26 from noon to 8 p.m.; Tuesday, Oct. 27 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Wednesday, Oct. 28, from noon to 8 p.m.; Thursday, Oct. 29 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Friday, Oct. 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 31 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.; and on Sunday, Nov. 1 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. <\/span><\/p>\n

Voters can drop off their voted absentee ballots at any polling location on Election Day. Voters that are only dropping off absentee ballots may bypass any line and proceed to the table near the entrance that is marked with a sign indicating \u201cAbsentee Ballot Drop-Off.\u201d The election inspectors at this table will accept and secure absentee ballots. <\/span><\/p>\n

When polls close on Election Night, all absentee materials will be secured with tamper-evident seals and returned to the Board of Elections.  <\/p>\n

Election Day polling locations in Tioga County can be found on the Tioga County Board of Elections website, https:\/\/www.tiogacountyny.com\/departments\/board-of-elections\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Remember, if you wish to vote by absentee for the 2020 General Election and you have not yet applied, the deadline is Oct. 27 for applications by postal mail, electronic mail, phone, or online portal; but the USPS recommends applying no later than Oct. 19 <\/b>to guarantee timely delivery of ballots. <\/span><\/p>\n

You may apply in person at the Board of Elections up to the close of business on Nov. 2, the day before Election Day. <\/p>\n

Any questions regarding absentee voting or other voting options in Tioga County can be directed to the Tioga County Board of Elections at (607) 687-8261, or by email to VoteTioga@co.tioga.ny.us<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
