 Absentee ballots
  
District residents unable to vote in person on May 20 because of disabilities, illness, travel, college, or other reasons listed as valid under election law, may request applications for absentee ballots by contacting the District Clerk’s Office at 349-5101, or in person at 71 Lyell Ave., in Spencerport. The district must receive applications at least 7 days before the vote if the resident would like to receive the ballot by mail.

In all cases, the deadline for the return of all ballots to the district office is 5 p.m. on May 20. Under education law, ballots are invalid if received later than this time.
     
 Early mail ballots

 New voting machines
Beginning in 2025, Monroe County voters will use new ExpressVote XL machines, which are designed to enhance voter accessibility, security, and efficiency.

The ExpressVote XL displays the full-face ballot on a 32-inch interactive screen and uses touch-screen technology to produce an independent voter-verifiable paper ballot. Voters can review their selections and verify that their vote was recorded accurately before submitting for tabulation. The secure system eliminates marginal marks and the need for interpretation of the voter’s intent.		 Monroe County's new voting machine
