AARP New York Provides Resources on How to Vote in Upcoming National, State and Local Elections

​EN ESPAÑOL | NEW YORK – AARP New York is helping New Yorkers understand the options they have in this year’s election through a voter resource page with important information voters can use, including dates and deadlines, recent voting changes, and different ways people can cast their ballot. By making the voting process more accessible, this voter resource can encourage more people to get out to the polls this year.

The AARP New York webpage - www.aarp.org/nyvotes - details all the dates New Yorkers need to know including when to register by, when early voting will take place, and when absentee ballots must be submitted. It also provides resources for people to check their registration status, learn how to request an early mail or absentee ballot, and find out more about the positions that will be up for election this year statewide.

The site and resources are free to access for all, not only AARP members, making it a one-stop shop for anyone to reference and share with others. The information is written in clear, easy-to-understand language. The webpage is also available in Spanish at www.aarp.org/nyvota.

Voters 50 and over are the driving force behind every election. AARP New York is calling on all candidates to pay attention to the issues that matter to them and their families. They’re not just voting; they’re grappling with the everyday challenges that come with caring for parents, siblings and other loved ones, and protecting their hard-earned Social Security.

In the spirit of empowering voters, AARP New York has compiled a list of questions for constituents to ask candidates to learn their plans to tackle issues important to people 50 and over, including supporting family caregivers, bringing down the high costs of prescription drugs, protecting Social Security and fighting financial exploitation. This list can be found here.

AARP New York is committed to keeping people informed and engaged in the voting process with these voting resources, along with other events and programming, including voter education tele-town halls and candidate forums throughout the state.
