Village of Millerton Elections
The Village Elections went back to the traditional ways with using paper ballots that will be deposited into a ballot box. New York State phased out the use of lever machine ballots in 2015 in order to comply with the “Help America Vote Act” of 2002. Ballot box voting is simple and the ballot form is very similar to the electronic scanning ballots you may have used in county or federal elections. The only difference is that it is deposited into a locked ballot box and counted by hand, rather than an electronic scanning device tallying votes. Votes remain secret, there is no way to link a person to a specific ballot. Representatives of both the Democratic and Republican parties will be present when the election workers count the ballots, to ensure the credibility of the count.
