MAYVILLE – The Chautauqua County Board of Elections is once again reminding residents who want to vote in the Nov. 3rd General Election that they must be registered by this Friday, Oct. 9.
This year’s general election involves local races, with contested races taking place in several local communities including Lakewood, the town of Busti and the city of Jamestown.
Oct. 9 is also the last day for voters to change their voter affiliation for the 2016 election cycle. New York State has a closed primary system and voters must be affiliated with either the Democratic or Republican Parties to votes in the Presidential Primary elections set for April 19, 2016.
A registration application submitted by mail must be postmarked by Oct. 9 and received by Oct. 14. Residents can also walk into the Board of Elections office to register until 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 9.
Voters can look up their personal political party affiliation or registration status at www.votechautauqua.com or by calling the Board of Elections at 753-4580.
