• IN PERSON: Schedule an appointment with the District Clerk. Applications must be received by the District Clerk the day before the election if the ballot is to be issued to the voter in person.
  
  
• BY MAIL: Print the Application for Absentee Ballot, sign and mail the original to Sanya Brown, District Clerk, Binghamton City School District, 164 Hawley Street, Binghamton, NY 13901. If you are unable to print the application, please contact the District Clerk (phone: 762-8100 x319; email: [email protected]) and request one be mailed to you.

Regardless, applications must be received by the District Clerk at least seven (7) days before the election if the ballot is to be mailed to the voter.

*Per Education Law 2018-A(2)(e), any voter registered as ‘permanently disabled’ with the Broome County Board of Elections Office will be mailed an Absentee Ballot without having to apply.

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. If you wish to register as a Military Voter with your County or State Board of Elections, you must contact them directly. For Broome County Board of Elections, contact 607-778-2172.

An Application to Register as a Military Voter (with the school district only) may be requested from the District Clerk (607-762-8100 x319 or [email protected]). The original signed Application must be received by the District Clerk no later than 14 days before the election.

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 fax 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, 164 Hawley Street, Binghamton, NY 13901 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 14 days before the election.

The District Clerk must receive the military voter's original military ballot by mail (or in person) no later than 5 pm the day of the vote.
