Election officials on Long Island have a simple message amid early and absentee voting -- your vote will be counted.

Long Island is ready to count absentee ballots with high-speed scanners -- there are six across Nassau and Suffolk counties.

But across the nation -- will absentee ballots arrive to the Board of Elections in time? With less than a week until Election Day, officials in the swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Wisconsin, Georgia and Ohio are urging voters to bypass the post office and hand-deliver absentee ballots.

Jim Scheuerman, Democratic commissioner of the Nassau Board of Elections, says he doesn't anticipate any issues with choosing to mail in your ballot.

"I can say that the post office has been very good in working with us, we're also able to go to the post office, we're able to get tomorrow's mail today, as they say," says Scheuerman.

In New York, there's an extra cushion of time. While absentee ballots have to be postmarked by Nov. 3, they cannot be counted under the law until Nov. 10.

"We also have to remove the absentee ballots of voters who chose to vote either early or at the poll sites on Election Day," says Scheuerman.

Republican Commissioner for the Suffolk Board of Elections Nick LaLota says if you've already dropped your ballot in the mail, you can call to check on it a week later.

"The presumption is we received it, and we haven't really heard any instances of ballots getting lost," says LaLota. "People should be confident about that process."

In both counties, if you drop off your absentee ballot at one of the early voting sites you do not have to wait in the same long line with the people waiting to vote in person.
