New Voter Registration
Applicants for registration who possess proof of identity, age, citizenship, and domicile should bring that proof when they come to register at the Town Clerk's office or at a Supervisors’ session or at an election.
Qualified applicants who do not possess proof or who do not bring proof with them may still register if they sign an affidavit attesting to their qualifications for identity, age, and citizenship, and / or domicile.
You may register to vote by completing the appropriate form available in the Town Clerk’s office and may do so up until 10 days before an election.
You may also register with the Supervisors of the Checklist, who maintain the voter registration list, at any of their public sessions held on specified dates, which are posted on the Town calendar, outside the Post Office, outside the Four Corners Store and outside the Clerk’s Office, before every election.

Supervisors of The Checklist
The Supervisors of the Checklist are elected officials who are responsible for maintaining the Town’s registered voter list and are involved in all Federal, State and Local elections. Supervisors meet in session prior to and at elections to register voters and make corrections to the Checklist. Each Supervisor is elected for a term of 6 years.
Corrections or changes to the Checklist can be made with the Supervisors when they are in session or with the Town Clerk, the Deputy or the Assistant during their regular hours. Please note that any changes are not reflected on the Checklist until they are approved and finalized at the next Supervisor session, all of which are open to the public.
The current checklist is posted outside the Town Clerk’s Office for public viewing. It may not be removed, except by the Supervisors, for any reason.
Copies of the “Public Checklist” are available from the Town Clerk’s Office at a cost of $25.00 per copy.
