You now have more time to get an absentee ballot

If you live outside of Brooklyn and hadn’t updated your voter registration info, because, say, you didn’t expect a freak storm to roll in and disrupt all forms of transit, you may have been thinking you were SOL when it came time to vote. Now, though, the state Board of Elections has extended the deadline to show up and apply for an absentee ballot in person to November 5. To do so, you have to show up at your local Board of Elections, which in Brooklyn is located at on the 4th floor of 345 Adams Street, in Downtown Brooklyn. The office is open between 10am and 9pm on Monday. Information on other city Boards of Election can be found here.
