Voter registration deadline nears

NORWICH – Friday is the last day to register to vote in the upcoming elections on Nov. 7. In order to vote, residents must register with the Chenango County Board of Elections by this Friday. Voters can register in person at the Chenango County Office Building or they can register by mail as long as the postmark is no later than Oct. 13. Residentss can get these mail-in forms from their local town or village clerks. Board of Elections Commisioner Harriet L. Jenkins said people should come to the county building so they can make sure they get registered.
To contact the Board of Elections, call 337-1760 or 337-1762, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The office will also have extra hours Oct 26, 8:30 a.m. till 7 p.m., Oct. 28, Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon, Nov. 2, 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Nov. 4, Saturday 9 a.m. to noon.
In order to register, one will need either their I.D. number found either on a New York State driver’s licsense or NY identification card; if that is not an option you can register using your Social Security number. The form takes only a few minutes to complete.
If you are already a registered voter, you may need to make sure you are still active if you have moved recently. If your address has changed since the last time you voted, you may be inactive. Residences can reactivate up until election day. To check to see if you are an active voter, call the Board of Elections.
You must register in order to vote in any election including local propositions, such as the ones pending in Guilford and Lincklean. November’s elections include congressional, senatorial, state assembly, attorney general, governor, local officials and much more.
If you have a disability, the Board of Elections will make special arrangments to help serve a need. They have special machines that are more easily acessible.
“If voters have any questions, please give us a call prior to election day and we will be happy to help,” said Jenkins.
