Stittville, New York Public Records

New York voters can register online through the state Board of Elections at https://voterreg.dmv.ny.gov/MotorVoter/, submitting new registrations or updating existing ones. The state requires registration at least 25 days before any election - for the November 3, 2026 general election, the deadline falls on October 9, 2026. Registration requires a New York State driver's license or DMV ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. In-person registration is available at the county Board of Elections, the Town of Marcy Town Clerk's office, and various state agencies. Because the hamlet is unincorporated, it doesn't hold municipal elections for mayor or council positions. Instead, residents vote in Town of Marcy elections for Town Supervisor, Town Council members, Town Clerk, Highway Superintendent, and Town Justice positions. These town contests occur in odd-numbered years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, with the next elections scheduled for November 2025 and November 2027. Voters can locate their assigned polling place using Oneida County's online lookup tool or by calling the Board of Elections directly. Polling locations are typically schools, fire stations, or community centers within each election district. New York makes extensive election records available under Election Law Section 3-220. Voter registration lists can be purchased by campaigns, political parties, and certain other requesters, though individual voter information has privacy protections. Campaign finance disclosure reports for state and county candidates are searchable through the New York State Board of Elections website at www.elections.ny.gov, while local candidate reports are available through the county Board. Candidate petition filings, election results by district, and ballot proposals are all public records. In the November 2024 presidential election, Oneida County reported turnout of approximately 63 percent of registered voters, with roughly 90,000 ballots cast county-wide out of approximately 143,000 registered voters. The November 3, 2026 general election will be significant for local voters. While no U.S. Senate seat from New York is scheduled for election in 2026 - Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's term expires in 2024 and Senator Chuck Schumer's in 2028 - New York voters will elect a Governor and Lieutenant Governor as incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul's term expires in 2026. The ballot will also include their member of the U.S. House of Representatives (the hamlet is in New York's 22nd Congressional District), all 63 New York State Senate seats including the 49th District which includes Marcy, all 150 New York State Assembly seats (residents are in the 118th Assembly District), and various Oneida County offices including County Executive, County Clerk, District Attorney, Sheriff, County Legislators, and county judges. Town of Marcy offices won't appear on the 2026 ballot since town elections occur in odd years. New York offers absentee voting to any registered voter who requests a ballot. Applications must be submitted to the county Board of Elections in person, by mail, or online through the state Board of Elections website. The Board must receive applications at least seven days before the election if requesting mail delivery of the ballot, or the day before if picking up the ballot in person. Military and overseas voters have special provisions under the federal MOVE Act. Completed absentee ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received within seven days for military and overseas ballots, or received by the close of polls on Election Day for civilian absentee ballots that are hand-delivered. The state also offers early voting at designated sites during the nine days preceding Election Day, including two weekend days.
