You can write in at every voting both in New York. There is no special line or special form.
When you enter the voting both move the large red lever to the right to begin the voting process.
Stand facing the ballot look to your left. You will see an unlabeled silver button. When you push that button, it releases the slats below. There is a slat that corresponds to each office on the ballot. Depress the button and, while holding it in, open the slot(s) for the office(s) for which you wish to write in a candidate's name.
Also on the left is a box that contains a small pencil which you can use to write in your selection. You may want to bring your own writing instrument, just to be sure.
You many write in for as many offices as you like. If you wish to vote for a candidate who is listed on the ballot, just vote normally by turn the lever down next to the candidates name.



As you pull the red voting lever back to the starting position, the write in slot(s) will close and levers will return to the upward position. Your vote is now recoreded and will be tabulated by the Board of Elections.
