Who Can Vote?
To vote in this election, you must be 18 years old, a U.S. citizen and a resident of the Lake George Central School District for at least 30 days prior to the vote and registered with Warren County Board of Elections. You will need to provide photo ID on the day of the vote.
Absentee & Early Mail Ballots
For district residents who are unable to vote in person on Tuesday, May 21 absentee and early mail in ballots for the budget vote, election of two school board members, and the bus proposition are available. Applications for absentee and early mail ballots are available online by clicking on the name of the application, or can be picked up in the Superintendent’s Office. The application must be received in the district clerk’s office at least 7 days before the vote if the ballot is mailed, or the day before the vote if the voter is going to pick up the ballot in person.
Once you receive your ballot, carefully read and follow the directions for filling out the ballot. Be sure to fill out the front of the envelope. Then, sign and date the envelope where indicated. If your envelope is unsigned, and the front is not filled out, your vote cannot be legally counted.
For more information, contact the school district clerk located in the Superintendent’s Office at the Jr.-Sr. High School at (518) 668 – 5456, ext. 1207.
