Located at 46 East Bridge Street, Suite 2, Oswego, NY 13126, the office can be reached at 315-349-8351 or through www.oswegocounty.com/boe. Staff there maintain voter registration records, process absentee ballots, assign polling places, and publish election results. Residents can register to vote online at www.elections.ny.gov using the state's online system, which requires a New York State driver's license or non-driver ID. The deadline is 25 days before any election.
First-time voters and new residents also have the option to register in person at the county Board of Elections, at the Department of Motor Vehicles, or by mailing a completed form. Acceptable identification for in-person registration includes a driver's license, utility bill, bank statement, or any government document showing name and address. The Village of Pulaski holds municipal elections for mayor and village trustees in March of odd-numbered years, typically on the third Tuesday. Candidates and nominating petition information can be obtained through the Village Clerk at Village Hall, 2928 Salina Street, or by calling 315-298-2229. These elections are nonpartisan, and candidates must file petitions with the Village Clerk by the deadline set in New York Election Law, usually in late January or early February. Residents also participate in Town of Richland elections for town supervisor, town council, and town justice positions held in November of odd-numbered years. Finding your assigned polling location is straightforward using the New York State Board of Elections polling place lookup tool at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov, or you can contact the county Board of Elections directly. Historically, polling places in the village have included Pulaski High School at 2 Hinman Road and other locations depending on ward boundaries. New York law makes several categories of election records public. Voter registration lists can be purchased by candidates, political committees, and the public through the county Board of Elections, though they're restricted to election related purposes.

Candidate petitions and filings are public records available at the respective Board of Elections offices.
