Oswego County Election news & Info

• IMPORTANT Change in postmarks affecting practices at the Board of Elections. The US Postal Service is no longer applying a postmark to every piece of mail upon receipt. This means that mailed ballots or other time sensitive correspondence with the Board of Elections will need to be mailed earlier or delivered in person to ensure it arrives on time.

  NEW in 2022 - once a voter has been issued an absentee ballot, they cannot vote at their poll site on Election Day or during Early Voting hours, even if their circumstances change. Anyone who has been issued an absentee ballot and shows up to vote on Election Day will only be able to cast a ballot by affidavit.
