New York City Distributes Halloween-Themed Stickers to Early Voters
New York City – To promote early voting, the New York City Board of Elections has launched a special initiative by distributing “Halloween Voter 2025” stickers to the first 1,000 voters at early voting sites across the city. The whimsical stickers feature a pigeon wearing a witch’s hat, adding a fun, seasonal element to the voting experience.
Early voting in New York City commenced on October 25, 2025, and will run daily until November 2, 2025, with polling hours set from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Voters are allowed to cast their ballots at any designated early voting center in their county. On Election Day, which falls on November 4, 2025, polling places will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The Board of Elections has a history of implementing creative methods to enhance voter participation. In the 2024 general election, the “Battle of the Boroughs” campaign featured limited-edition borough-specific “I Voted” stickers, resulting in a remarkable turnout of 149,319 voters on the last day of early voting. This represented the highest early voting turnout in the city’s history.
