Voter Registration

OK folks, it's that time of year again, time to make sure you are registered to vote. It is absolutely essential that you make your voices heard in every election. And here in Shandaken we have seats open for Town Supervisor, Town Board, Highway Superintendent, Town Clerk and Town Assessors. So if you are not registered to vote in Shandaken, you still have time to do so. If your Voter Registration Form is received at the Ulster County Board of Elections by October 14th, you will be eligible to vote this year.

You can print out your Voter Registration Form at http://www.co.ulster.ny.us/elections/NYvoterregistration.pdf, or you should be able to pick one up at your local post office. If you'd like to enjoy a visit to lovely uptown Kingston, you can register in person at the Ulster County Board of Elections, 284 Wall Street.

In the event that in person on Election Day, you can mail in your absentee ballot. Absentee ballot applications can be downloaded at : http://www.co.ulster.ny.us/elections/absenteeapp.pdf. Here are the deadline for absentee ballot applications:
