East Randolph, New York Public Records

When major crimes or investigations cross municipal boundaries, these agencies work together with the Sheriff's Office to ensure residents receive protection regardless of where an incident begins or ends.

New York residents have several options for registering to vote: online through the state Board of Elections website at https://voterreg.dmv.ny.gov/MotorVoter, by mail using a paper form, or in person at the Cattaraugus County office or DMV locations. The registration deadline is 25 days before any election for in-person and mail submissions, though online deadlines may differ slightly. When registering, voters must provide either their New York State driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Since this is an unincorporated hamlet rather than a village with its own government, residents don't vote for an East Randolph mayor or council. Instead, they participate in Town of Randolph elections for Town Supervisor, Town Council members, and other town offices, typically held during November general elections in odd-numbered years. County races for positions like County Legislature, Sheriff, County Clerk, and similar offices occur every four years. To locate their specific polling place, residents can use the New York State Board of Elections polling place locator at https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov or simply call the Cattaraugus County office. Public election records in New York include voter registration lists, which are available to candidates and political committees under specific conditions. Campaign finance disclosure reports filed with state and county boards can be searched at www.elections.ny.gov, along with candidate petition filings and precinct-level results published after each election. During the November 2024 presidential election, Cattaraugus County saw turnout of approximately 60-65 percent among registered voters, matching typical participation rates for rural New York counties in recent presidential cycles. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, voters here will weigh in on several significant races. The gubernatorial election tops the ballot, with Governor Kathy Hochul's current term expiring that year. All New York State Assembly seats will be up, including the district covering East Randolph, along with State Senate seats. County-level offices may include races for County Legislature, Sheriff, District Attorney, and County Clerk depending on term schedules. Town of Randolph positions will also appear if they're on cycle that year. While Kirsten Gillibrand's U.S. Senate seat isn't up in 2026 - her term expires in 2024 - Chuck Schumer's seat will be on the ballot in 2028. New York makes voting accessible through absentee ballots, which any registered voter can request. Applications can be obtained from the Cattaraugus County Board of Elections or downloaded from the state website, but they must be submitted at least seven days before Election Day. Completed ballots need to be postmarked by Election Day and received within seven days afterward to count. The state also offers early voting for nine days before Election Day at designated sites, which the Cattaraugus County Board of Elections announces before each election.
