The Tompkins County Board of Elections is encouraging all registered voters to make a plan to cast their ballot in the 2026 General Election.

Early Voting begins October 24 and runs through November 1. Any voter may vote at either of the county’s two early vote locations:

  • Tompkins County Veterans Services at 111 N Albany Street
  • Tompkins County Crash, Fire, Rescue building at 72 Brown Road, near the airport.

Both locations are fully accessible to voters with physical disabilities, and parking will be available.

Early Voting will be open each day from 9 AM to 5 PM, except for Tuesday and Thursday (October 27 and 29) when hours are 9 AM to 8 PM.

Once a voter casts a ballot during Early Voting, that voter cannot vote again on Election Day.

Election Day is November 3, 2026. Polls will be open from 6:00 AM until 9:00 PM. Voters should vote at their assigned polling places. Voters can verify their registration and find their Election Day polling place through the New York State Voter Lookup Tool.

The complete Early Voting schedule and additional election information are available on the Tompkins County Board of Elections website and the Board’s Facebook page.
