As an unincorporated hamlet within the Town of Orangetown, Blauvelt does not hold separate municipal elections for mayor or village trustees. Instead, residents vote in Town of Orangetown elections for Town Supervisor and Town Council members, held in odd-numbered years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The next Orangetown municipal elections will be held November 4, 2025. Voters also participate in Rockland County elections for County Executive, County Legislature, Sheriff, and County Clerk. The South Orangetown Central School District holds budget votes and school board elections annually in May. Local voters can find their assigned polling place by using the New York State Board of Elections polling place locator at https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov or by contacting the Rockland County Board of Elections at (845) 638-5172. Polling locations in the hamlet have historically included the Veterans Memorial Community Center and Tackamack Elementary School, though assignments vary by election district. Under New York election law, voter registration lists are public records available for inspection by candidates and political committees, though individual voter history (which elections someone voted in) has restricted access. Campaign finance disclosure reports are filed with the New York State Board of Elections and searchable at https://publicreporting.elections.ny.gov. Candidate filing documents and petitions are maintained by the Rockland County Board of Elections. Precinct-level election results are posted on the Rockland County Board of Elections website following certification, typically within two weeks of each election.Current federal, state, and local election schedules, ballot contests, candidate filings, and certified results for Blauvelt voters are published by the New York State Board of Elections (https://elections.ny.gov/). Rockland County voters in the 38th State Senate District and 97th Assembly District will select their representatives. While no U.S. County-level races may include County Legislature seats depending on district rotation, and the Town of Orangetown will hold its elections in 2025 rather than 2026 under New York's odd-year municipal election schedule.
