Residents can register to vote online through the New York State Board of Elections website at voterreg.dmv.ny.gov/MotorVoter, or by completing a paper registration form available at the Westchester County Board of Elections, DMV offices, local libraries, and other government buildings. The registration deadline is 25 days before any election, and New York does not permit same-day registration. Acceptable identification for registration includes a New York State driver's license, non-driver ID, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. Photo ID is not required to vote in person for most voters, though first-time voters who registered by mail may need to show identification at the polls. As an unincorporated hamlet, the community does not hold independent municipal elections for mayor or city council. Instead, residents cast ballots for Town of Greenburgh officials including the Town Supervisor and Town Council members. These town elections occur in odd-numbered years, with the next scheduled for November 2025 when voters will decide the Town Supervisor position and Town Council seats. Residents can locate their assigned polling place using the New York State Board of Elections polling place locator at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov or by contacting the Westchester County Board of Elections. Polling locations in the area are typically situated at local schools, community centers, or other public facilities. Public election records in New York include voter registration lists - available to candidates and political committees - along with campaign finance reports filed with the New York State Board of Elections at www.elections.ny.gov and searchable through the Campaign Finance Database, candidate petition filings, and precinct-level election results. Individual voter history showing which elections a person participated in, though not how they voted, is available to registered voters about themselves, while aggregate turnout statistics are publicly accessible. During the November 2024 presidential election, Westchester County demonstrated strong civic engagement with approximately 450,000 registered voters and turnout ranging from 68-72%. On November 3, 2026, voters in the hamlet and throughout Westchester County will decide several significant races. The midterm elections will feature the contest for New York Governor, as Governor Kathy Hochul's current term expires in 2026, along with races for Lieutenant Governor, State Comptroller, and State Attorney General. Voters will also elect representatives to the New York State Senate and New York State Assembly for their respective districts; the area is located in State Senate District 37 and State Assembly District 92, subject to redistricting. While no U.S. Senate seat from New York appears on the 2026 ballot - Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was re-elected in 2024 and Senator Chuck Schumer's term extends through 2028 - all U.S. House seats will be contested, including the congressional district covering the community, currently New York's 16th Congressional District. Westchester County offices potentially on the 2026 ballot include County Executive if the term cycle aligns, District Attorney, County Clerk, County Legislators representing various districts, and several judicial positions. To request an absentee ballot in New York, voters must submit an application to the Westchester County Board of Elections, available online at www.westchestergov.com/board-of-elections or by calling 914-995-5700. Applications must reach the Board of Elections no later than 10 days before Election Day if submitted by mail, or the day before Election Day if applying in person. New York provides absentee voting for voters who will be outside the county on Election Day, have an illness or physical disability, are incarcerated awaiting trial or for a misdemeanor conviction, or cannot appear due to risk of contracting or spreading a communicable disease. Early voting is available at designated sites for nine days prior to Election Day, typically beginning the Saturday before the election, with extended hours including evenings and weekends. Residents should check with the Westchester County Board of Elections for specific early voting locations near them.
