Where to Vote in Brooklyn Starts With Your Home Address

For the November 3 general election, Brooklyn voters should use the official address lookup—not a static list—and check early-voting and Election Day sites separately.

For the November 3, 2026 general election, Brooklyn voters must use their registered home address to find their assigned polling place. The official NYC Board of Elections (BOE) Find My Poll Site tool is the only authoritative way to confirm where to vote, both for early voting and on Election Day. Static lists or unofficial sources may be outdated or incorrect, as polling locations can change.

To ensure you go to the correct location, enter your home address at [findmypollsite.vote.nyc](https://findmypollsite.vote.nyc/). This tool will display your assigned early voting site and your Election Day site, which may be different. It also provides hours, accessible entrance details, the specific room, and a sample ballot for your address.

How to Check Your Registration and Poll Site

Before heading to the polls, confirm your voter registration status. You can check your registration through the NYC Votes website. Only registered voters assigned to a Brooklyn address will receive a polling place assignment. If you have moved, update your registration as soon as possible to ensure your poll site reflects your current address.

Once registered, use the BOE’s Find My Poll Site tool. Enter your home address exactly as registered. The tool will return:

  • Your assigned early voting site (with dates and hours)
  • Your assigned Election Day site (with hours)
  • Accessible entrance information
  • Assigned room within the building
  • A sample ballot for your district

Early Voting vs. Election Day Locations

Early voting for the 2026 general election runs from Saturday, October 24 through Sunday, November 1. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, with polls open from 6am to 9pm. Your early voting site may not be the same as your Election Day site. Always check both assignments in the official lookup tool before making plans.

NYC311 and the BOE caution that locations can change, sometimes close to Election Day. Recheck your poll site shortly before you plan to vote, especially if you last checked weeks in advance.

Accessibility and Language Assistance

The Find My Poll Site tool lists accessible entrances for each location. If you need additional accommodations, contact the BOE at 866-VOTE-NYC for assistance.

Language assistance is available at many Brooklyn poll sites. The NYC Civic Engagement Commission (CEC) provides interpreters for select early voting dates and on Election Day, with languages including Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Bengali, and Urdu. Some sites may offer additional languages through the CEC. You may also bring your own interpreter, as long as they are not your employer or union representative.

What to Bring to the Polls

Most voters in Brooklyn do not need to show ID to vote. However, if you are a first-time voter who did not provide required identification when registering, you may be asked for ID. Acceptable forms include a driver’s license, state ID, current utility bill, bank statement, or other government document showing your name and address.

You may bring notes, a sample ballot, or a translation guide into the voting booth. If you need help, you can request assistance from poll workers or bring an interpreter (with the restrictions noted above).

If You Have a Problem at the Polls

If your name does not appear on the voter roll or there is a question about your eligibility, you have the right to request an affidavit (provisional) ballot. This allows you to vote while the BOE verifies your eligibility after Election Day.

If you requested a mail ballot but decide to vote in person, bring your mail ballot with you if possible. If you do not have it, inform the poll workers; you may be asked to vote by affidavit ballot.

For any questions or issues, call the BOE at 866-VOTE-NYC.

Before you go

  • Confirm your registration and poll site using the official BOE tool.
  • Check both early voting and Election Day assignments.
  • Review accessible entrance and language assistance options.
  • Bring any required ID if you are a first-time voter without ID on file.
  • If you encounter problems, request an affidavit ballot and contact the BOE for help.

Official tools, not static lists, control where you vote in Brooklyn. Always verify your poll site close to Election Day to ensure you have the most current information.
