Roscoe, New York Public Records

Residents can register to vote online through the New York State Board of Elections at https://voterreg.dmv.ny.gov/MotorVoter, though this requires a New York State driver's license or non-driver ID. Registration deadlines fall 25 days before any election. Mail-in registration forms are available from the Sullivan County Board of Elections or can be downloaded from the state website. New York requires voters to register with a party affiliation to participate in that party's primary elections; unaffiliated voters may vote only in general elections. As an unincorporated hamlet, the community does not hold municipal elections for mayor or town council. Instead, local governance occurs through the Town of Rockland, which holds elections for Town Supervisor and Town Council members in odd-numbered years. Residents vote in county, state, and federal elections. Polling place assignments can be found through the New York State Board of Elections polling place locator at https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov or by calling the Sullivan County office. Most local residents vote at the Roscoe Firehouse, 2091 Old Route 17, Roscoe, NY 12776. The state maintains extensive public election records including voter registration lists (available for purchase by qualified organizations), campaign finance disclosure reports (searchable at https://publicreporting.elections.ny.gov), candidate filings and petition signatures, and precinct-level election results. The ballot will also decide races for New York State Senate (District 42), New York State Assembly (District 100), Sullivan County Executive, County Legislature seats, and potentially a U.S. Senate race if Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's seat is contested. Judicial positions including Supreme Court Justices and potentially County Court Judge may appear on the ballot. Absentee ballots in New York can be requested online at https://absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov or by submitting a paper application to the Sullivan County Board of Elections. The deadline to request an absentee ballot is generally ten days before the election for mail delivery, or the day before the election for in-person pickup. New York allows early voting at designated locations typically nine days before Election Day through the Sunday before Election Day; the Sullivan County Board designates early voting sites which have historically included the Government Center in Monticello.
