As part of New York’s State’s Help America Vote Act (HAVA) process, the NYS Board of Elections has completed an important aspect related to the statewide voter database.  The link below will take you to the state board’s website where you can check if you are registered as well as the location of your polling place.  Once you are on the state site, click the first selection under the heading “Voter registration.”  A new screen will pop up and you need to fill in the required information of name, birth date, county, and zip code and click search.  If you are registered in Nassau County your name and polling location will appear.  Other information on the page will be your party, your status and your voting jurisdictions.  If you believe any information on your record is incorrect please contact the Nassau County Board of Elections.

NY State Board of Elections
http://www.elections.state.ny.us

 

Welcome to the Nassau County Board of Elections website. We hope you find the information contained on this site informative and useful.

The Board is a New York State mandated agency funded by Nassau County administered by a bipartisan representation of the two major parties in the state, the Republican and Democratic Parties.

The principal functions of the Board are to register voters, conduct Primary, General and Special Elections, canvass the results and certify the winners.

In addition to conducting elections, not including villages, schools, fire department and other special elections that are administered locally, the Board’s basic functions are to maintain registration records for those county residents who file a registration form either by mail or in person. We provide registration forms to schools, universities, post offices, libraries, Department of Motor Vehicles, and designated government agencies throughout the county.

To keep our records as up to date as possible we use resident information from various sources including the Department of Health; official notifications from other Boards of Elections in the state and throughout the country; and the National Change of Address listing. From these lists we transfer voters to new addresses, cancel those who have moved out of the county, and every August send registered voters a notice of registration to verify their residence and voting status.

For further information you may contact us at our offices in Mineola either in-person, by phone, or by fax.
