Per a recent court order, New York’s Presidential Primary will take place on June 23rd, 2020. At this time, New York will be holding a full election with full staffing for all polling sites and full early voting. Due to a pre-existing executive order, most of us will now be mailed applications for an absentee ballot, which can be filled out and returned to the Board of Elections for a ‘no-excuse’ absentee ballot.
In addition to the Presidential Primary, Saratoga County will be holding three other primary elections:
- 49th State Senate District Democratic Primary. This primary is open to enrolled Democratic voters residing in the following towns and cities: Ballston, Charlton, Clifton Park, Corinth, Day, Edinburg, Galway, Hadley, Malta, Milton, Providence, and Saratoga Springs (election districts 7, 19, 20 & 21 only).
- 108th Assembly District Democratic Primary. There will be a primary for enrolled Democratic voters residing within the Town of Waterford.
- Malta Town Judge Independence Party Primary. There will be a primary for enrolled Independence Party voters residing within the Town of Malta.

The Board of Elections is making arrangements for this project and we will implement this as soon as possible.

Voters wishing to apply for an absentee ballot based on concerns about COVID-19 should check the “temporary illness” box on the application. If you need to request an absentee ballot…
