I think with all the attention these current elections have gotten in the media I don't have to tell that it is very important to get out and make your voice heard on election day.
Perhaps you may not be able to vote in person at this year's all important general election on Nov. 2nd, but you still have plenty of time to send in your application for an absentee ballot. Your application can be printed using the following link from the Board of Elections website: http://www.co.ulster.ny.us/elections/absenteeapp.pdf
The following deadlines for absentee ballot applications and ballots are provided by the Board of Elections:
Oct. 26 - Last day to postmark application or letter of application for ballot.
Nov. 1 - Last day to apply in for person for ballot.
