Andes, New York Public Records

Registration must be completed at least 25 days before an election. To register, voters must be U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old by election day, county residents for at least 30 days before the election, and not currently incarcerated for a felony conviction. Proof of identity isn't required, but applicants must provide their New York driver license number or DMV non-driver ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. These local races appear alongside any county or state positions up for election that year. Residents vote at their assigned polling place, which can be located using the state's polling place finder at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov by entering an address. Most local voters are assigned to polling locations in the hamlet itself, often at the Andes Fire House or town hall. New York does not have a U.S. Senate race in 2026, as Senators Schumer and Gillibrand are not up for election that year. Publicly available election records include voter registration lists (available for qualified purposes under Election Law § 5-208), campaign finance disclosure reports filed by candidates and committees (searchable at publicreporting.elections.ny.gov), candidate petitions and statements of candidacy filed with the Board, and certified election results by election district. To request an absentee ballot, voters must submit an application to the Delaware County Board of Elections, available online or by request. Applications must reach the Board no later than 10 days before the election if applying by mail, or the day before election day if applying in person. The state allows absentee voting for voters who will be absent from the county on election day, illness or disability, or several other specified reasons. As of 2023, early voting is available at designated locations during the nine days preceding election day.
