Political party enrollment change deadline approaches

KINGSTON — The Ulster County Board of Elections is reminding voters that the deadline to change party enrollment is Saturday, February 14.

The Board of Elections will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on February 14 to accept enrollment change requests. The Ulster County Board of Elections is located at 79 Hurley Avenue, Suite 112, Kingston NY 12401. This is a receipt-based deadline, meaning the board must receive a voter’s request by the deadline in order for it to be processed.

Voters planning to change their enrollment online should be aware that the State Department of Motor Vehicles has scheduled system maintenance beginning at 2 p.m. on Friday, February 13. The DMV’s online portal will be unavailable from that time through the close of the February 14 deadline.

Voters who wish to use the DMV’s online system are strongly encouraged to submit their request before 2 p.m. on February 13.

After that time, voters may either use the state online voter registration system, or submit their enrollment change in person at the Ulster County Board of Elections during business hours on February 14 (9 a.m.–5 p.m.).

Officials said the safest way to ensure a change of enrollment is received on time is to appear in person at the Board of Elections before 5 p.m. on February 14.

Voters with questions should contact the Ulster County Board of Elections at 845-334-5470 or visit VoteUlster.com .
