November 3 is around the corner but there's still time to vote by absentee ballot. You also have the option of voting early in person or on election day. If you do plan to vote in person on election day, note at the bottom of this article that some of the Scarsdale voting locations have changed.
Below find detailed information on the three ways to vote in the General Election from the League of Women Voters of Scarsdale.
1) You have the option to vote by Absentee Ballot. Voters may choose "temporary illness" for fear of contracting Covid-19 as the reason for applying for an absentee ballot.
For information on voting by Absentee Ballot, please go to: https://citizenparticipation.westchestergov.com/voting/absentee-ballots
Once you have completed your ballot, you may submit it via mail (include first class postage); you may also submit it in person at the Board of Elections (25 Quarropas Street, White Plains); or you could drop off your ballot in a secure, contactless drop box/drop bag at any Early Voting polling site or Election Day polling site (during voting hours): https://citizenparticipation.westchestergov.com/images/stories/pdfs/2020absenteedrop.pdf
