New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a new executive order on Sunday, June 7 for the annual School Budget Vote and Board Elections.
The order extends it for any received by mail to June 16. However, all hand-delivered ballots must still be submitted by 5 p.m. tomorrow, Tuesday, June 9. There will be no additional ballot requests after 5 p.m. on June 9.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all voting this year is by absentee ballot only. Fairport residents have the option to submit their ballots in a secure drop box (due by tomorrow, June 9 at 5 p.m.) next to the front door of the District Office building located at 38 West Church Street. Districts are not permitted to accept ballots through alternative means such as drop off boxes after 5 p.m. on June 9. Any receptacles used for the hand delivery of ballots must be closed and secured at that time.
