Queens residents can cast their ballots at 18 early voting sites in the days leading up to the special election for Queens borough president. None of the polling places are located in elementary, junior high or high schools, to the relief of education officials and good government groups.

Voters can cast their ballots from March 14 to March 22 at the following sites:

  • The Board of Elections’ Queens Voting Machine Facility Annex in Maspeth

  • The Cross Island YMCA

  • The Elks Lodge in Elmhurst

  • The First Baptist Church of East Elmhurst

  • The Helen Marshall Cultural Center at Queens Borough Plaza

  • The Holy Trinity Parish Church in Cambria Heights

  • Korean Community Services in Bayside

  • LaGuardia Community College

  • Queens College

  • Queens Library at Jackson Heights

  • The Rego Center Community Room in Rego Park

  • The Resorts World Casino New York in Ozone Park

  • The Rochdale Village Community Center

  • The Rockaway YMCA

  • The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria

  • The Varsity Boys & Girls Club of Queens in Astoria

  • The Academic Core Building at York College in Jamaica

Queens had its first experience with early voting during last year’s race for district attorney. The initiative became law in January 2019.

Polling places are open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends; 12 - 8 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday and Friday.
