Board of Elections

Board of Elections

The Board of Elections is a New York State mandated agency funded by Nassau County administered by a bipartisan representation of the two major parties in the state; the Republican and Democratic Parties.

Responsibilities:

• Register voters.
• Conduct Primary, General, and Special elections.
• Canvass election results.
• Certify election winners.
• Maintain registration records for those county residents who file a registration form either by mail or in person.
• Provide registration forms to schools, universities, post offices, libraries, Department of Motor Vehicles, and designated government agencies throughout the county.

To keep records up to date we use:

• Resident information from various sources including the Department of Health.
• Official notifications from other Boards of Elections in the state, and throughout the country.
• The National Change of Address Listing.

From these lists we transfer voters to new addresses, cancel those who have moved out of the county, and every April send registered voters a notice of registration to verify their residence and voting status.
