Requests for these records can be submitted through the respective law enforcement agency's records division, often requiring a formal written request or an online submission through the department's designated process.

As an incorporated village, Tarrytown holds separate municipal elections for the Village Board of Trustees and Mayor. Village elections typically occur in March of odd-numbered years, with the next scheduled for March 2025. Information about local candidates and ballot measures is available through the Village Clerk's Office at One Depot Plaza (phone: 914-631-1873) and at village candidate forums. Residents vote at polling places assigned based on their address. Voters can look up their specific polling location, view sample ballots, and check registration status at the Westchester County Board of Elections website or by calling the board directly. New York State provides a polling place locator at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov. Under New York election law, voter registration lists are public records available for inspection, though they cannot be used for commercial purposes. Campaign finance records for state and local candidates are maintained by the New York State Board of Elections and searchable at publicreporting.elections.ny.gov, showing contributions and expenditures for candidates and political committees. Precinct-level election results are published by the Westchester County Board of Elections after certification. In the November 2024 presidential election, Westchester County reported approximately 68% voter turnout, with over 475,000 ballots cast from more than 635,000 registered voters. The village mirrored these strong participation rates. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, Westchester and Tarrytown voters will decide several significant races: Governor of New York (Kathy Hochul's term expires, making this a gubernatorial election year), all 213 seats in the New York State Assembly, 63 State Senate seats (even-numbered districts are up), one U.S. Senate seat (though 2026 is not a regular cycle for either of New York's senate seats unless a special election occurs), all 27 U.S. House seats representing New York, and various county and local offices including Westchester County Executive (if that cycle aligns), county legislators, and potentially village trustees depending on local election schedules. New York allows absentee voting for voters who will be absent from their county on Election Day, unable to vote due to illness or disability, or have a permanent illness or physical disability. Voters can apply for absentee ballots online through the Westchester County Board of elections website or by submitting a paper application at least seven days before the election (or by the day before for illness/disability emergencies). Early voting is available at designated sites in Westchester County for nine days prior to Election Day, with locations and times posted at elections.westchestergov.com.
