New York residents with a state driver's license or non-driver ID can register to vote online at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov, while those without can download a mail-in registration form from the same site.

New voters or those wanting to change party enrollment must complete that process by October 9 to vote in party-specific primaries during that year's general election cycle.
