Office Hours: 8 am - 4 pm, Monday through Friday
Attention Military, Federal, and Overseas (UOCAVA) Voters: we had to make a routine formatting correction to our civilian absentee ballots yesterday (9/23/24). This correction caused emails to absentee voters who have requested their ballots by email to be resent. If you received a second email, it is a legitimate email, but you can disregard it.
THERE IS NO CHANGE TO YOUR BALLOT. You can print your ballot from either email link, both ballots are identical. Please follow the instructions and only return one ballot to us.
Please note that the Columbia County Board of Elections will never contact you by text message. If you have questions or concerns regarding the validity of any message or mailing you may have received, please don't hesitate to call us at 518-828-3115 or email elections@columbiacountyny.gov
