The Young Adult Ministry at the First Baptist Church of Bridgehampton will hold a voter registration drive on Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. at the Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center.

Anyone who wants to vote in the upcoming general election is welcome to wear a mask and observe social distancing at 551 Sag Harbor Turnpike in Bridgehampton in order to complete the registration process.

Once registered, Suffolk County voters may cast ballots at any of the early voting sites in East Hampton and Southampton during the nine days from Oct. 24 through Nov. 1, or during the general election on Nov. 3.

Those already registered to vote can also now apply for a ballot online by going to absenteeballot.elections.ny.gov.
