Woodstock Town, New York Public Records

Residents can register to vote online through the New York State Board of Elections at voterreg.dmv.ny.gov/MotorVoter, by mail using forms available from the county Board of Elections or downloadable from vote.nyc, or in person at the Board of Elections office or any DMV location during license transactions. The registration deadline stands at 25 days before any election, and New York requires documentary proof of identity and residency. Eligible voters must be U.S. Citizens, 18 years old by election day, residents of Ulster County and New York State for at least 30 days before the election, and not currently incarcerated for a felony conviction. As an unincorporated town, the community doesn't elect a mayor or traditional city council. Instead, local elections determine the Town Supervisor, four Town Board seats, Town Clerk, Town Justice positions serving 10-year terms, and Highway Superintendent. Residents also participate in county, state, and federal races. Polling places are assigned by election district, and voters can find their specific location by entering their address at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov or calling the county Board of Elections. Common polling sites include the Woodstock Community Center at 56 Rock City Road and the Woodstock Town Hall at 41 The Green. New York has no U.S. Senate race in 2026 since both Senators Schumer and Gillibrand have terms extending beyond that year. Absentee ballots can be requested online at absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov, by mail, or in person at the Ulster County Board of Elections. Applications must reach the Board of Elections no later than 10 days before the election if applying by mail, or the day before election day if applying in person. New York allows any registered voter to request an absentee ballot without stating a reason. Absentee ballots must be postmarked by election day and received within seven days after the election, or hand-delivered to the Board of Elections by 9:00 PM on election day. Public election records available in New York include voter registration lists (available for purchase by candidates and political committees under Election Law §5-208), campaign finance disclosure reports filed with the New York State Board of Elections at www.elections.ny.gov/CFViewReports.html for state and county candidates, candidate petition filings and ballot access information, and certified election results by election district. The Ulster County Board of Elections publishes unofficial results on election night and certified results after canvassing at their website. The town's voting history shows consistently strong Democratic performance with notable Green Party and Working Families Party support, reflecting the community's progressive political culture.
