All eyes are also on the November election, and Oneida County residents
only have 1 more opportunity to register to vote. Officials with the
Board of Elections say residents who want to vote in the presidential
election must register by tomorrow night. Officials are anticipating
more than double the voter traffic than regular county-wide elections
receive.
"You can see that in a regular election year for county-wide races, we're looking at less than 48 thousand - mind you our total enrollment is 130 thousand. So you have 48 thousand that show up to vote. But in a presidential election, you're gonna look at 95.5, so it's a pretty substantial difference between the two," says Pamela Mandryck, (R) Commissioner of Elections.
To register, Oneida County residents can head to Union Station in Utica tomorrow between 9am- 9pm. The Otsego and Herkimer County Board of Elections will be open tomorrow from 2pm- 9pm.
Absentee ballot applications will also be available.
For all three counties, this is the last chance to register to vote in the general election.
