Long Eddy, New York Public Records

Residents can register to vote online through the New York State Board of Elections website at https://voterreg.dmv.ny.gov/MotorVoter/, or by submitting a paper form available from the county Board of Elections, libraries, or the state BOE. Registration must be completed 25 days before any election, as New York does not offer same-day registration. While New York requires identification for first-time voters who register by mail, no photo ID is needed at the polls for registered voters. Since Long Eddy is an unincorporated hamlet without its own municipal government, there are no mayoral or hamlet council elections. Instead, residents vote in Town of Fremont elections for Town Supervisor, Town Council members, and other town offices during odd-numbered years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The next Town of Fremont elections will take place in November 2025. Voters can locate their assigned polling place using the New York State Voter Registration Lookup at https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov/ or by contacting the Sullivan County Board of Elections. Polling assignments are based on election district, with residents typically voting at a location in or near Hankins or Fremont Center. New York's public election records include voter registration lists (available to candidates and political parties under specific conditions), campaign finance disclosures through the state Board of Elections, candidate petitions and filings, and precinct-level results, all accessible at https://www.elections.ny.gov/. Sullivan County reported approximately 30,000 registered voters in the November 2024 presidential election, with turnout of roughly 65-70%, consistent with recent general election patterns. For the November 3, 2026 general election, voters in the hamlet and throughout Sullivan County will decide several key races: New York's gubernatorial election (Governor Kathy Hochul's seat is up in 2026), all New York State Assembly seats (including the 100th Assembly District covering western Sullivan County), New York State Senate District 51, and county-level offices including Sullivan County Legislature seats, County Clerk, and potentially County Sheriff depending on term schedules. U.S. Senate seats from New York are not up in 2026 (the next Senate election is 2028 for Kirsten Gillibrand's seat). Local ballot measures, if any, will be determined closer to the election date. New York offers absentee voting by mail for voters meeting specific criteria including illness, disability, or absence from the county on Election Day; permanent absentee status is available for voters with permanent disabilities. Absentee ballot applications are available from the Sullivan County Board of Elections and must be received by the Board no later than the day before the election if applying in person, or 10 days before if applying by mail. Early voting is available at designated sites announced by the Board of Elections on its website and through local media, typically covering 9 days before Election Day.
