From what I understand No Fault Absentee Voting in New York, means you don't have to state why you won't be able to vote on election day.

Today, after work I am going to Queens Borough Hall and place an absentee ballott for this election. I am going to have a really long day on Tuesday, working 9:30-9 and I want to make sure that I get my vote in.

---------------------------------------
If you cannot get to your poll site on election day, you may qualify to vote by absentee ballot. You can vote by absentee ballot if you are temporarily or permanently ill/disabled, or if you are out of town on election day for business, vacation, school or similar circumstances. Please be advised that there are separate applications for both the primary and general elections.

You can also obtain absentee ballot application(s) by checking the box in the upper left-hand corner of the voter registration form when you register, or by calling VAC at (212) 788-8384 or the Board of Elections at (212) VOTE·NYC.

Voting by Absentee Ballot on a Permanent Basis
If you are permanently ill or disabled and cannot get to your poll site, you can vote by absentee ballot on a permanent basis by getting on the New York City Board of Elections permanent absentee ballot list. Just check the box marked "permanent illness/disability" in section D of the absentee ballot application. Each year you will automatically receive an absentee ballot application for each election for which you qualify to vote.

Poll Site Accessibility
Some poll sites are accessible to New Yorkers with disabilities. Voters can find out if their poll sites are accessible for the disabled by calling the Board of Elections at (212) VOTE·NYC (212-868-3692). Disabled voters whose poll sites are not accessible can request to vote at the nearest poll site in their district that is accessible.
