Ferndale, New York Public Records

As an unincorporated hamlet, Ferndale has no municipal elections of its own. Instead, residents participate in Town of Liberty elections for Town Supervisor, Town Council members, Town Justice, and other local offices, typically held in odd-numbered years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Voters also cast ballots in county, state, and federal contests. Polling place assignments are available through the New York State Board of Elections locator at https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov/ by entering name and date of birth, or by contacting the Sullivan County office directly. No U.S. Election records available to the public under New York law include voter registration lists (available for political purposes with restrictions on commercial use), campaign finance disclosure reports accessible at https://publicreporting.elections.ny.gov/, candidate petition filings, and precinct-level election results published after each contest. Absentee ballots can be requested online at https://absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov/ or through a paper application to the Sullivan County Board of Elections. Applications must reach the Board no later than 10 days before the election if requesting by mail, or the day before if applying in person. New York permits early voting during a designated period at specified sites, with locations and dates published by the Sullivan County Board of Elections.
