Cochecton Center, New York Public Records

The registration deadline falls 25 days before an election, and voters must be U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and county residents for at least 30 days. Acceptable identification includes a New York driver's license or the last four digits of a Social Security number. The hamlet is part of the Town of Cochecton and lacks its own incorporated municipal government, so residents don't vote in city or mayoral elections. Instead, they participate in Town of Cochecton elections for Town Supervisor, Town Council members, Town Clerk, and Town Justice, typically held in odd-numbered years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Polling place assignments can be found using the New York State Board of Elections polling place locator at https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov/ by entering your address; the primary polling location for residents is typically at the Cochecton Town Hall, 17 County Road 114, Lake Huntington, NY 12752. Publicly accessible New York election records include voter registration statistics (though individual voter records remain private), campaign finance disclosure reports filed with the State Board of Elections at https://publicreporting.elections.ny.gov/, candidate petition filings, and certified election results by district and precinct. Absentee ballots in New York are available for voters who will be absent from the county on Election Day, have an illness or disability, are hospitalized, or meet other qualifying reasons; applications are available from the Sullivan County Board of Elections and must be received by the board no later than the day before the election for in-person requests or seven days before for mail requests. New York also offers early voting at designated sites during the nine days preceding Election Day; check the Board of Elections website for early voting locations and hours in Sullivan County.
