Erieville, New York Public Records

Residents can register to vote online through the New York State Board of Elections at https://voterreg.dmv.ny.gov/MotorVoter/, where eligible citizens complete registration applications electronically. The registration deadline is 25 days before any election. New York requires voters to provide their state driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number when registering online; those without can submit a paper application. As an unincorporated hamlet, Erieville does not hold municipal elections for mayor or village trustees. Instead, residents vote in Town of Fenner elections for Town Supervisor, Town Council members, Town Clerk, and other town positions. These town elections take place in odd-numbered years on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November. The next town elections will occur in November 2025, with positions determined based on term expirations. County-level offices including County Clerk, Sheriff, and County Legislators appear on ballots in various cycles. Voters can locate their assigned polling place using the New York State Board of Elections polling place lookup tool at https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov/ or by contacting the Madison County Board of Elections directly. Public election records in New York include voter registration information, though individual voter privacy is protected while aggregate registration data remains public. Campaign finance disclosure reports filed by candidates and committees are available through the New York State Board of Elections at https://publicreporting.elections.ny.gov/, along with candidate petition filings and precinct-level election results. In the November 2024 general election, Madison County reported approximately 55-60% voter turnout, consistent with presidential election patterns in rural upstate New York counties. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, residents will decide several significant races. New York will hold elections for Governor and Lieutenant Governor (four-year terms), Attorney General, State Comptroller, and all 213 seats in the State Assembly and 63 State Senate seats, though only certain districts will be contested based on term cycles. Madison County voters will also elect County Clerk, County Sheriff (if the term expires in 2026), and Madison County Legislature representatives from their district. The U.S. Senate seat currently held by Kirsten Gillibrand is not up for election in 2026 (next election 2028); Chuck Schumer's seat will next be on the ballot in 2028 as well. The U.S. House of Representatives seat representing the area (currently New York's 22nd or 24th Congressional District depending on redistricting) will be on the ballot for a two-year term. Absentee ballots in New York can be requested online at https://absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov/ or by submitting a paper application to the Madison County Board of Elections. The state offers absentee voting for various reasons including illness, disability, being out of the county on election day, or permanent absentee status for those with qualifying conditions. Applications must be received by the Board of Elections at least seven days before the election, or by the day before if applying in person. Military and overseas voters have special provisions under the federal MOVE Act.
