Deadline nears for voter registration
NORWICH – The State Board of Elections today reminds all state residents to register to vote for the Nov. 2, 2010 general election. Mail-in voter registration forms must be postmarked by midnight, Friday, Oct. 8 and received no later than Oct. 13 to be valid for the upcoming general election.
Candidates for Governor, Comptroller, Attorney General, United States Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, State Senate and State Assembly will be on the ballot this year, along with candidates for State Supreme Court Justice as well as other local offices.
In Chenango County, voters will elect a new supervisor for the Town of Columbus and a new councilman for the Town of Guilford. A proposition is on the ballot for Town of McDonough residents that would increase the terms of office for town supervisor, highway superintendent and clerk from two years to four.
Residents who have moved to a new county are reminded that they must re-register from their new address. Those who are currently registered and have moved to a new address in the same county should notify their county board of elections in writing of their move.
The New York State Voter Registration Form can be used by new voters or by movers for these purposes and can be obtained at www.elections.state.ny.us.
Persons who are unsure whether they are registered, or wish to verify their current address, may look-up their status at: https://voterlookup.elections.state.ny.us/votersearch.aspx .
Persons wanting to register in person may do so at their local county board of elections and at many state agency offices throughout the state, but must do so no later than Oct. 8, to be eligible to vote in the general election. However, new citizens and military voters have a later deadline. If you have been honorably discharged from the military or have become a naturalized citizen after Oct. 8, you may register in person at the local board of elections until Oct. 22.
Requests for registration forms may also be made by calling 1-800-FOR-VOTE. Requests will be processed and the forms mailed to the caller’s home or business address. Internet users may download a registration form by going to the State Board’s web site at www.elections.state.ny.us and clicking on the “Voting Information” link.
Voters who are in need of an absentee ballot due to physical disability, temporary illness or who will be out of the county on General Election Day between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 p.m., may apply for an absentee ballot application by contacting or coming in to the County Board of Elections.
The Board of Elections hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Offices are located in the county office building, 5 Court St., Norwich.
