Fillmore, New York Public Records

Registration must be completed 25 days before Election Day; anyone missing that deadline cannot register and vote in that election. Applicants need a valid New York State driver's license or non-driver ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number if no state ID exists. The town doesn't have a separate municipal government with a mayor or city council. Instead, it operates under New York law with a Town Supervisor and Town Board members elected during odd-numbered years in November. Local governance comes from the Town Board, and residents participate in county, state, and federal elections. Polling places are assigned by the Allegany County Board; residents can locate their specific voting site using the state's polling place locator at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov or by calling the Allegany County elections office. New York election law makes many election records public, including voter registration lists with names and addresses (though party affiliation is only released to political parties or candidates upon request), campaign finance disclosure reports filed by candidates and committees (available at www.elections.ny.gov/CFViewReports.html), candidate filings and petitions, and certified results broken down by precinct and district The county elections office keeps specific precinct-level data. All New York State Assembly seats will be up, and the town sits in District 148, currently represented by Joseph Giglio. State Senate seats are also being decided; the area falls within Senate District 57, now held by George Borrello. The New York Attorney General position will be contested, along with various Allegany County offices such as County Legislature seats and potentially the Allegany County Clerk, Sheriff, and District Attorney depending on when their terms end. No U.S. New York permits absentee voting for those meeting specific criteria: absence from the county on Election Day, illness or disability, duties caring for someone who is ill or disabled, detention in jail awaiting trial, and permanent illness or disability. Absentee ballots can be requested online through the Allegany County Board's website or by written application. Applications must reach the Allegany County Board by the day before the election for in-person requests, or seven days before for mail requests. Early voting began in New York in 2019, with periods typically running nine days before Election Day at designated county sites. Allegany County announces its early voting locations before each election, usually including sites in Belmont and other population centers. For complete information on registration, polling places, candidate filings, and results specific to the area, residents should contact the Allegany County Board of Elections or visit the state board's website.
