Get Ready to Vote

The primary election is early this year--in June instead of September, as it has been in the past. It's an important primary for Hudson, so don't miss your chance to vote.

If you are not yet registered to vote in Hudson, you have until tomorrow, May 31, at 4 p.m. to do so. You can register in person at the Board of Elections, 401 State Street. If you are registered to vote in Columbia County but need to change the address at which you are registered, you have until Friday, June 5, to do that. Click here for more information.

If there is a chance you will not be in the city on Tuesday, June 25, and cannot get to the polls, you can request an absentee ballot. Click here to access an application for an absentee ballot. Click here for information about requesting and submitting an absentee ballot.

Over-the-counter voting is available right now and every day, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4 p.m., until Monday, June 24--the day before the election.
