votebuttonIf you are not a registered voter but want to vote in the Village Election on Wednesday, March 18, 2020, the last day to register with the Westchester County Board of Elections is Friday, March 6.

Mail-in registration forms are available at the Scarsdale Village Clerk’s Office, online from the Westchester County Board of Elections, or in-person at the Westchester County Board of Elections Office, 25 Quarropas Street, White Plains. Please note that although the voter registration form indicates that it must be returned to Westchester County at least 25 days prior to an election, New York State Election Law stipulates that registration for a Village Election must be received by the County at least 10 days ahead of a Village Election date.

In order to register to vote, one must:

• Be a U.S. Citizen;
• Be 18 years of age by the date of the election in which you want to vote;
• Live at your present address at least 30 days before an election;
• Not be in prison or on parole for a felony conviction; and
• Not claim the right to vote elsewhere.

For registered voters who will be out of Westchester County on Village Election Day, an absentee ballot can be obtained by filling out an application form at the Village Clerk’s Office in Village Hall, requesting one from the Village Clerk by phone or mail, or downloading one directly from the Village website. Tuesday, March 10, 2020, is the last day for the Village Clerk to receive an application by mail for an absentee ballot; however, applications made in-person can be accepted until Monday, March 16, 2020.

All Election Districts (Numbers 1 through 19) will be voting on Wednesday, March 18, 2020, at the Scarsdale Congregational Church, 1 Heathcote Road, in Dyckman Hall. Hours of the election are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
