Ten Elected to Citizens Nominating Committee

Ten new members were elected to serve on the Scarsdale Citizens Nominating Committee (CNC) on Tuesday November 10, 2026. These new members will join current CNC members for a total of 30 Scarsdale residents serving on the CNC. Together, the CNC will vet and nominate a slate of non-partisan candidates to run in Scarsdale’s March 2027 election for Village Trustee and Village Mayor.

This year a total of 162 votes were cast, a count that includes 29 mail-in ballots, In 2025, 236 votes were received and in 2024, 342 votes were cast. Due to insufficient funds, paper ballots were not mailed to homes this year.. Voters could print the ballot out from the CNC website and mail it in, or vote in person at Scarsdale Library. The cost to print and mail the ballots is estimated at about $5,000.

Also this year, since the Village would no long provide ballot boxes, students at Scarsdale Middle School built new boxes in their technology class.
