Schuylerville, New York Public Records

New York State provides online voter registration at dmv.ny.gov/more-info/electronic-voter-registration-application and through the state Board of Elections portal at vote.ny.gov. Registration must be completed at least 25 days before an election. Those registering need either a New York driver's license or non-driver ID, or they can provide the last four digits of their Social Security number. While the state requires proof of identity during registration, voters already on the rolls don't need to show photo ID when casting ballots. The village holds elections for mayor and trustees on the third Tuesday in March, with the next scheduled for March 2025. Candidate petitions are filed with the Saratoga County Board of Elections, following either partisan or nonpartisan procedures depending on local practice. Residents also participate in Town of Saratoga elections during odd-numbered years, voting for town supervisor, council members, and town justices on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The 2024 presidential election saw strong turnout countywide, with roughly 68% of Saratoga County's over 145,000 registered voters casting ballots, approximately 98,000 votes in all. The November 3, 2026 general election will feature several significant races. New York Governor will be on the ballot for a four-year term, with incumbent Kathy Hochul eligible to run. All 63 New York State Senate seats and all 150 State Assembly seats will be contested, both carrying two-year terms. County-level positions include Saratoga County Sheriff, County Clerk, and County Coroner, each serving four-year terms. Congressional District 21, which covers the village, will elect a U.S. Representative. No U.S. Senate seat from New York is up in 2026, as both Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer have terms extending beyond that year. Local town and village races may also appear depending on when terms expire. Voters can locate their assigned polling place using the lookup tool at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov or by calling the Saratoga County Board of Elections. Absentee voting is available for those who will be out of the county on Election Day, are unable to vote due to illness or disability, or meet other qualifying criteria. Applications can be obtained at saratogacountyny.gov/departments/board-of-elections or through the state portal, and must reach the Saratoga County Board of Elections at least seven days before the election (with earlier deadlines for military and overseas voters). New York doesn't offer universal no-excuse mail voting; voters must fall within the statutory absentee categories. Early voting runs for nine days prior to Election Day at designated sites. Election records in New York are extensively documented and accessible. Voter registration lists are available for political purposes under Election Law. Campaign finance filings can be searched through the New York State Board of Elections at elections.ny.gov/CampaignFinance.html. Candidate and ballot access petitions filed with county boards are public records, as are certified election results published by both the Saratoga County Board of Elections and the state Board. Precinct-level results, voter turnout statistics, and ballot measure outcomes are all accessible online and at the Saratoga County elections office.
