West Bloomfield, New York Public Records

The registration deadline falls 25 days before any election, though the state recently implemented early voting beginning 10 days before Election Day. When registering, voters must provide their New York driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number. The town operates under an elected Town Board consisting of a Town Supervisor and four Town Council members, all serving four-year staggered terms decided in odd-numbered years. Town elections happen each November of odd years (2025, 2027, and so on), with the next scheduled for November 2025. The Town Supervisor and other positions including Town Clerk and Highway Superintendent appear on local ballots. Residents can look up their assigned polling place at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov by entering their address; the community typically maintains one or two polling locations, often at the West Bloomfield Fire Hall or the Town Hall at 5 Park Avenue. In the November 2024 presidential election, Ontario County reported voter turnout of approximately 72%, with over 75,000 votes cast out of roughly 105,000 registered voters, reflecting strong civic engagement. On November 3, 2026, voters here and throughout Ontario County will decide the New York gubernatorial race (Governor Kathy Hochul's term expires in 2026), all members of the New York State Assembly (including the 133rd District representing West Bloomfield), New York State Senate seats, the New York Attorney General position, and the New York State Comptroller. County-level offices including Ontario County Board of Supervisors seats may appear on the ballot. No U.S. Senate seat from New York is scheduled for election in 2026, as Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was re-elected in 2024 and Senator Chuck Schumer's term extends to 2028. Residents can request absentee ballots online at absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov or by contacting the Ontario County Board of Elections; New York allows absentee voting for various reasons including absence from the county on Election Day, illness, disability, or if the voter is a patient or inmate in a hospital or care facility. Early voting in New York runs for nine days before Election Day at designated early voting locations announced by the Board of Elections. Election records that are public in New York include voter registration lists (available to candidates and political committees with restrictions on use), campaign finance disclosure reports filed with the New York State Board of Elections at publicreporting.elections.ny.gov, candidate petitions and filings, and precinct-level election results available through the Ontario County Board of Elections and the New York State Board of Elections at elections.ny.gov. Individual voter history (which elections a person voted in, but not how they voted) is available to the voter upon request but not generally publicly searchable.
