Voter Registration Information

Online Voter Registration

A new platform is available for all New Yorkers to register to vote online, pursuant to a state law that was enacted in 2019. The system features a site for New York City residents and a site for residents in other parts of the State.  It is available to anyone with access to a computer, tablet or smartphone. A person seeking to register will no longer need an identification card issued by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.  Instead, it will ask for the last four digits of the subject’s Social Security number.  There portal will guide the user through the signature process with three options to confirm the identity of the voter.

If you live within the five boroughs, you can register to vote here.
If you live elsewhere in New York, you can register to vote online through the State Board of Elections website here.

CUNY students may continue to register to vote via CUNY First or elect to use the new platform.
