Voter Registration and Absentee Ballots

Please make sure that you are registered to vote in Shandaken for the upcoming election. In NY you must be registered 25 days before an election so time is running out. This year you must be registered by October 10th. If you are already registered and you will be out of town for any reason on that day, be sure to get an absentee ballot. Below is a link to a website that will give you all the information you need about either process. In both cases it is much easier than you think. Although this is not a big year for the national elections it is important to vote locally. There are two Town Board seats, two Town Assessors positions, the Highway Superintendent and the all important Town Supervisor position up for grabs. These are critical positions for our town especially in light of the fact that the Town Board members appoint the members of the planning board and the zoning board of appeals. All of these board members make important decisions for our town that effect us all. So make your voices heard and please vote!!

If anyone has any problems or questions about any part of this process please email me at wvview@gmail.com and I will contact you and help get the paperwork you need.
