Wed, 09/14/2022 - 17:37

Tuesday is National Voter Registration Day, and the League of Women Voters of the Hamptons, Shelter Island, and the North Fork will observe the day with voter information tables throughout the East End.

The league will distribute voter registration forms, absentee ballot applications, fliers with the early voting dates, sites, and times, and information on the referendum that will be on the Nov. 8 ballot, which would implement a .5-percent real estate transfer tax to pay for affordable housing projects.

Early voting will take place from Oct. 29 through Nov. 6. For East Hampton Town residents, the early voting site is the Windmill Village housing complex at 219 Accabonac Road. For Southampton Town residents, the site is the Stony Brook Southampton campus gym at 70 Tuckahoe Road.

On Tuesday the league’s tables will be stationed outside the Montauk Post Office from 10 a.m. to noon; the East Hampton Post Office, One Stop Market in Springs, Schiavoni’s Market in Sag Harbor, and the Bridgehampton Post Office, all from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; the Rogers Memorial Library in Southampton from 3 to 5 p.m.; the Shelter Island Library from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.; King Kullen in Hampton Bays from noon to 2 p.m., and the Westhampton Free Library from 3 to 5 p.m.

Sites on the North Fork had yet to be confirmed as of Monday.

The Suffolk County Board of Elections’ mail-in deadline for voter registration forms is Oct. 14. Its deadline to receive absentee ballot applications is Oct. 24, while the mail-in postmark deadline for the return of absentee ballots is Nov. 8, Election Day.

Voter registration forms are available at the New York State Board of Elections website, elections.ny.gov.
