Copied from the county board's candidate list as updated Sept. 16, 2026. The list shows no races for the cities of Middletown, Newburgh or Port Jervis, or for the towns of Warwick and Palm Tree; check your sample ballot. Where the list does not say how many seats are open (some town justice and village trustee races), "Vote for" is left blank. The County Legislator District 1 party line is printed as "ORANGE-1".
Party lines as printed by the county board (D = Democratic, R = Republican, C = Conservative, WF = Working Families; other parties and independent lines are spelled out). New York allows "fusion" voting: a candidate can appear on several party lines, and the votes on every line count together.
Town, city and village races are listed under each municipality; you vote only in the ones where you live, and county legislature and court races by district. Governor, U.S. House, State Senate and Assembly are on the state page. Seats per race ("Vote for N") are as printed by the board; where the board's list does not say, the page shows "see your ballot".
One candidate per seat on the list (write-ins may still be possible).
