Whitehall, New York Public Records

Residents can register to vote online through the New York State Board of Elections at www.elections.ny.gov using the online voter registration portal, which requires a NYS driver license or non-driver ID. Registration must be completed at least 25 days before an election to be eligible to vote in that election. New York allows same-day registration during the early voting period starting in 2023. To register, applicants must be U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old by the election date, and residents of Washington County and the Town of Whitehall for at least 30 days before the election. The Town of Whitehall holds elections for Town Supervisor, Town Council members, Town Clerk, Highway Superintendent, and Town Justice at various intervals, typically in odd-numbered years during November general elections. The village separately elects a Mayor and Board of Trustees. To find their assigned polling place, voters can use the polling place locator at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov or call the county Board of Elections. Publicly available election records in New York include voter registration lists (with certain personal information redacted per election law), campaign finance disclosure reports filed with the NYS Board of Elections and viewable at publicreporting.elections.ny. The U.S. Senate seat held by Kirsten Gillibrand is up for election in 2024, not 2026, so no U.S. Senate race is expected in 2026 unless a special election occurs. To request an absentee ballot in New York, voters must submit an application to the Washington County Board of Elections, available online at www.washingtoncountyny.gov or at elections.ny.gov. Applications must be received by the Washington County Board of elections at least 7 days before the election (10 days if requesting by mail). New York allows early voting beginning 10 days before Election Day at designated early voting sites, which for local voters are announced before each election and typically include a location in or near the village.
