You have the right to vote in your language!

In any election, you have the right to:

Bring an interpreter of your choice into the voting booth. It can be a friend, family member or poll worker. It can't be your employer or union representative.
Visit the Early Voting Service Map or Election Day Service Map to find out if your poll site is serviced by the Voter Language Assistance Program
Ask election workers how to mark and cast your ballot.
Bring materials about candidates and ballot questions with you
Vote manually, even if the voting machine is broken.
Vote by "affidavit ballot" if your name is missing from the list of voters at your polling site.
Take time off from work to vote: New York State Law allows you to take up to three paid hours off at the beginning or end of your shift to vote, as long as you notify your employer at least two days before Election Day.
Under federal and state law, persons with disabilities are entitled to assistance with voter registration, accessible polling sites, and assistance with casting their ballot. If you have a disability and believe you have been denied your right to assistance while voting or registering to vote, please call 311.
