Yorkville, New York Public Records

New York residents can register to vote online at voterreg.dmv.ny.gov, or by submitting a paper application available at the Board of Elections, DMV offices, libraries, and other government offices. Registration deadlines fall 25 days before any election; the state does not offer same-day registration. Applicants must be U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old by election date, residents of Oneida County and New York for at least 30 days before the election, and not currently imprisoned or on parole for a felony conviction. The town holds village elections on the third Tuesday in March for the offices of mayor (four-year term) and village trustees (four-year staggered terms, with two trustees typically elected at each election). The next village election will be in March 2026, with specific positions determined by term expirations. Village elections are nonpartisan, and candidates file petitions with the Village Clerk. Residents also participate in Whitestown Town elections, Oneida County elections, New York State legislative elections, and federal elections. Voters can find their assigned polling place using the New York State Board of Elections polling place lookup at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov, or by contacting the Oneida County Board. Election records that are public in New York include voter registration lists (available for political purposes and election administration), campaign financial disclosure reports filed with the NYS Board of Elections (searchable at publicreporting.elections.ny.gov), candidate petition filings, and certified election results by election district. Individual voter history (which elections a person voted in, but not how they voted) is also public record. No U.S. Local town and village elections may also occur depending on the jurisdiction's schedule. New York allows absentee voting for voters who will be out of the county on election day, unable to vote due to illness or disability, or have other qualifying reasons. Applications for absentee ballots can be submitted online at absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov or by mail to the Oneida County Board of Elections, with deadlines typically ten days before the election for mail applications and one day before for in-person applications. New York expanded early voting in 2019, with early voting sites operating for nine days before each general, primary, and special election at designated locations announced by the Board of Elections.
