New York residents can register online through the New York State Board of Elections at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov, by mail using the National Mail Voter Registration Form, or in person at the Westchester County office or DMV locations. Registration must be completed at least 25 days before an election to vote in that contest, though New York now allows same-day registration during the early voting period with proper documentation. Voters provide their name, address, date of birth, and either a New York driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number. As an unincorporated hamlet within Yorktown, residents vote in town elections for Town Supervisor, Town Council members, and Town Justice positions, with the next Yorktown elections scheduled for November 2025.

Voters can locate their assigned polling place using the New York State Voter Lookup tool at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov or by contacting the county Board of Elections.
