A key deadline in New York's special August primary election falls on Monday.
Voters hoping to cast their ballots outside of designated polling sites must request to vote absentee by August 8.
New Yorkers get two primary elections this summer after redistricting shook up the state's electoral maps and pushed the primaries for Congress and state Senate back to August 23.
In previous years, voters who requested an absentee ballot could still show up to an in-person polling location and use a machine to vote. Now, voters who made such a request and show up to a polling location must complete an affidavit ballot.
