Election Day: Tuesday, November 3, 6am–9pm. Go only to your assigned site.

At the poll site
- Bring a photo ID: a driver's license, passport, or state ID. New York only requires ID from some first-time voters, but bringing it speeds check-in and cuts the chance of a mix-up or challenge at the book. If you have no photo ID, bring a recent bill or bank statement with your name and address.
- Sign the book. A Fast Pass letter helps, but you do not need it.
- Fill the ovals on the paper ballot. Put it in the scanner. If you make a mistake, ask for a new ballot before you scan it. You can get up to 3 ballots.

If something is wrong
If poll workers say your name is not in the book, ask for an affidavit ballot. That is a backup ballot. Do not leave until you have voted or filled one out.
You can ask for a Russian interpreter.
