It is the last day for New Yorkers to register to vote in the upcoming presidential election.
The deadline applies both to those planning to vote in person or by mail.
New York offers online voter registration. Voters can also register by mail by printing the registration form, filling it out and then mailing it to their local election office.
Absentee ballots must be requested by Oct. 27, and postmarked by Nov. 3.
Early voting at most polling sites is Oct. 24 through Nov. 1, though dates and hours vary slightly, so residents should check with their local polling place.
The New York City Board of Elections says the city has already received hundreds of thousands of absentee ballot applications. Drop off boxes for those are located at all Board of Elections offices. They will also be at all early voting sites.
