Rock City Falls, New York Public Records

Registration must be completed 25 days before any election, though the state now offers same-day registration during early voting for those meeting specific criteria. Registrants need to provide their name, address, date of birth, and either a valid New York driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number. As an incorporated village, Rock City Falls holds its own elections for Mayor and Board of Trustees positions. Village elections across New York typically fall on the third Tuesday in March. The next local election is scheduled for March 2025, potentially including the Mayor (serving a two-year term) and two Trustee seats (four-year terms). Details about village candidates, exact dates, and local ballot questions can be obtained from the Village Clerk at 518-885-7200 or through the Saratoga County Board of Elections. Residents vote at their assigned polling location, which can be found using the New York State Board of Elections locator at findmypollsite.vote.ny.gov or by calling the Saratoga County office. State law makes voter registration lists public records available for inspection, though their use is restricted to election related purposes. Campaign finance disclosure reports for candidates at the state and local level are searchable online at publicreporting.elections.ny.gov. The Saratoga County Board of Elections publishes certified results on their website after each contest. During the November 2024 presidential election, the county recorded approximately 62% voter turnout, with roughly 135,000 registered voters and over 83,000 ballots cast, a strong showing of civic engagement. On November 3, 2026, voters here will face several significant races. New York's gubernatorial election will put Governor Kathy Hochul's seat on the ballot alongside Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and Comptroller positions. All 63 State Senate seats and 150 Assembly seats will be contested, including local representatives for the hamlet (currently Senate District 44 and Assembly District 112, though redistricting could shift these boundaries). One of New York's U.S. Senate seats will also be up for election in 2026 (likely Kirsten Gillibrand's Class 1 seat, though voters should verify). Saratoga County offices potentially on the ballot include County Clerk, County Sheriff, and County Coroner depending on term schedules. Town of Milton offices such as Town Supervisor, Town Board members, and Town Justice may also appear. Absentee voting by mail is available for those who meet specific criteria: absence from the county on election day, illness, disability, or other qualifying reasons. Applications are available from the county Board of Elections and must be received at least seven days before the election (or postmarked by that date if mailed). Completed absentee ballots need to be postmarked by the day before Election Day and received within seven days after the election to count. The state also offers early voting at designated sites for nine days before Election Day, including weekends, with no excuse required.
