Kattskill Bay, New York Public Records

Registration must be completed 25 days before Election Day; the state does not offer same-day registration. Voters must be U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old by Election Day, New York residents for at least 30 days before the election, and not currently incarcerated or on parole for a felony conviction. As an unincorporated hamlet without municipal government, there are no mayoral or city council elections here. Local governance happens at the Town of Bolton level, where residents elect a town supervisor, town board members, town clerk, and town justices in odd-numbered years during general elections held the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Residents vote at their assigned polling place within the Town of Bolton; specific polling locations, sample ballots, and registration status are available at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov or by calling the Warren County Board of Elections at (518) 761-6456. Public election records in New York include voter registration rolls (accessible by FOIL request, though individual voting history is not disclosed to the general public), campaign finance disclosures filed with the New York State Board of Elections (www.elections.ny.gov) for state-level candidates, and precinct-level election results published by the county Board of Elections after certification. Warren County will elect a County Clerk, County Sheriff (if the term aligns), and potentially county supervisors depending on the district rotation. Town of Bolton offices may also appear on the ballot in 2025 or 2027 depending on term schedules. New York State offers absentee voting by mail for voters who meet specific criteria: illness or physical disability, absence from county on Election Day, detention in jail awaiting trial, or being a resident or spouse of a resident of a Veterans Health Administration Hospital. Absentee ballot applications must be received by the Warren County Board of Elections no later than the day before the election if applying in person, or postmarked no later than 15 days before Election Day if by mail. Voters can request applications and submit them online at absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov. Early voting is also available in New York; Warren County designates early voting sites where any registered voter in Warren County can cast a ballot during the nine-day early voting period before Election Day.
