Military Voters
 
Please read the Voting Residence fact sheet for uniformed service members.

Military voters, not currently registered, may apply to register as a qualified voter of the Binghamton City School District; however, this only registers you with the school district.

Military voters who are registered may elect to receive their Military Ballot Application and military ballot by mail, email, or facsimile. However, if no preference is selected (or the necessary facsimile number or email address is not provided), the District Clerk will transmit the Military Ballot Application or military ballot by mail to the military voter's district residence.

The military voter must return the original signed Military Ballot Application and military ballot by mail (or in person) to the District Clerk, regardless of how the absentee application or military ballot was received.

The District Clerk will transmit the military voter’s ballot (in accordance with the military voter’s preferred method of transmission; or, if no preference indicated, by mail to the voter's district residence) no later than 5 p.m. on May 3, 2021.
