New York State launched an online portal where all registered voters can request an absentee ballot if you are worried about in-person voting due to COVID. There’s no need to wait — you can request an absentee ballot for the November 3rd election today. (Please note that you must already be registered to vote at your current address. If you aren’t registered to vote, or need to change your voter registration address, visit elections.ny.gov for more info.)
New Yorkers have options in the way to cast a vote this elections: In addition to voting by absentee ballot, you can vote early in-person at your Early Voting polling place from October 24 to November 1 (there are nine days of Early Voting).

Vote Absentee!
Dear Voters,
We are experiencing in real time an example of the importance of qualified policy makers in the positions of power over our lives and deaths. I know it is clear to every one of you that our participation is essential. Fortunately, it is we, the voters, who have absolute governing power. We must act to use it
Governor Cuomo has signed executive orders to help ensure a safe election through voting by mail using the existing Absentee Ballot process. It is easy to vote safely by mail. We cannot expect in person voting to be business as usual on election day and so we need to plan.
Absentee ballots will NOT be mailed automatically to voters in New York. Instead, voters in New York will have to request a mail-in ballot:

Even if you are not out of the County on Election Day, you can still submit an absentee ballot … simply check the box that reads “temporary illness”. Absentee ballot applications must be postmarked by October 27th at the latest, but PLEASE return your ballots as soon as you receive them.

Vote where it counts!
New Yorkers, you have the right to vote from your second home.
New York State law is clear. Citizens with dual residences have the right to choose where they want to vote. The do not have to vote where they maintain their primary residence.
Second homeowners have a major stake in the rural communities where they maintain a home, but most have no say in how their tax dollars are being spent, or in decisions that will affect the future of their community for years to come. In swing districts, dual resident voters can determine the outcome of congressional elections.

The Democratic Party, founded by Jefferson and Jackson, made relevant for our times by Roosevelt, Kennedy and Obama, has been the party of ALL THE PEOPLE, regardless of race, economic status or longevity in the American community. These are the values of the Democratic Party in East Hampton, and we seek to bring our community together in furtherance of them and of the unique qualities of our fragile and lovely waterfront town.
To us, a place without a soul is just another ho-hum theme park. We believe that preservation of the unique environment, cultural heritage and authentic history of our town is good for everyone, crucial to the success of our economy and essential to the quality of life that defines East Hampton for all who live here. We are committed to providing needed services to our citizens including affordable housing for working people, seniors and families. We are the only local party to have offered and sustained successful affordable housing options.
We believe in a fiscally sound government and are determined to elect candidates with experience and commitment that ensure good management. We believe that today we build the future tomorrow.
Volunteer
East Hampton Democrats need volunteers to help us elect Peter Van Scoyoc for Supervisor, re-elect Councilwoman Kathee Burke-Gonzalez and Jeff Bragman to the Town Board. The candidates put up by the Republicans offer neither the experience nor the commitments to sustain and continue their achievements in maintaining the Town's unique heritage and sensitive environment; protecting our quality of life in the face of challenges from ruthless big business and irresponsible tourism; providing needed support for working people, children and seniors; managing a government unparalleled in fiscal prudence and civility and enforcing our laws.
