Stony Creek, New York Public Records

Registration can be completed online at https://www.ny.gov/services/register-vote, by mail using forms available from the county Board of Elections or DMV offices, or in person at the Board of Elections office. The registration deadline is 25 days before an election; New York does not offer same-day voter registration. Voters must provide proof of identity and residency, such as a driver's license or utility bill. Local elections for Town Supervisor, Town Council members (four seats), Town Clerk, and other town offices occur in odd-numbered years, typically on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November. Candidate lists, sample ballots, and local ballot measures appear on the county Board of Elections website as Election Day approaches. To find their assigned polling place, residents can use the New York State Voter Registration Lookup at https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov/, which displays polling location, election district, and sample ballot information based on address. The town typically has one or two polling places; Stony Creek Town Hall at 5 Roaring Branch Road has historically served as a polling location. New York law makes certain election records publicly accessible under Election Law Article 3. Voter registration lists are available for inspection by registered voters and candidates, though personal information is protected. Campaign finance disclosure reports for candidates and committees can be searched through the New York State Board of Elections database at https://publicreporting.elections.ny.gov/. Precinct-level election results for the town are published by the county Board of Elections after certification. Voters will also elect members of the New York State Senate (District 45, which includes Warren County) and State Assembly, as well as Warren County-level offices potentially including County Board of Supervisors representatives, County Clerk, County Sheriff, and District Attorney, depending on term cycles. Residents can request absentee ballots (called "absentee" or "mail-in" ballots in New York) online at https://absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov/ or by submitting a written application to the Warren County Board of Elections. Applications must be received no later than ten days before Election Day for mail delivery or the day before Election Day for in-person pickup. New York allows absentee voting for reasons including absence from the county on Election Day, illness or disability, and primary care of a sick family member. Early voting is available at designated sites in Warren County starting ten days before Election Day and ending two days before Election Day; the schedule and locations are posted at https://www.warrencountyny.gov/elections/.
