How Do I Register to vote or change my party?  

 A registration form is used to register to vote for the first time or to make changes to your registration (ex. address change or party change): 

2. Print a voter registration form from the web; fill it out; sign and date it; then either mail it to us or bring it to our office at 128 E. Buffalo St., Ithaca, NY. You must have Adobe Acrobat on your computer to see this file. If you get a blank screen, click "refresh." Also, disabling anti-popup software may help. Be sure to click on the printer icon in the Adobe toolbar, not the browser toolbar;

Note: You cannot register to vote via e-mail or fax.

To register, you must be a United States citizen, be 18 years old by the date of the election you want to vote, live at your present address for at least 30 days before a election, and not claim the right to vote elsewhere.
