Goldens Bridge, New York Public Records

The voter registration deadline is 25 days before any election for mail registration and 10 days before for online registration. New York does not require voter ID at the polls for most voters, though first-time voters who registered by mail may need to show identification. As an unincorporated hamlet without its own municipal government, there are no local mayoral or council elections specific to the community. Voters also participate in all Westchester County, New York State, and federal elections. Polling place assignments can be found using the New York State Board of Elections polling place locator at https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov or by contacting the county Board of Elections. Under New York Election Law, certain election records are public including voter registration lists available to candidates and political committees, campaign finance disclosure reports searchable at https://publicreporting.elections.ny.gov, candidate petitions and filings, and precinct-level election results. No U.S. Absentee ballots in New York can be requested online at https://absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov or by submitting a paper application to the Westchester County Board of Elections; applications must be received by the Board at least 7 days before the election or postmarked by that date if mailed. New York offers early voting at designated sites beginning 10 days before Election Day and running through the Sunday before Election Day. Voters can track their absentee ballot status online and view sample ballots at the county Board of Elections website before each election.
