Absentee voting for St. Louis County General Municipal Election begins
ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – Absentee voting for the April 8 General Municipal Election begins Tuesday in St. Louis County.
Residents can start casting absentee ballots in person at the St. Louis County Board of Elections office starting Tuesday morning. Additionally, voters can request absentee ballots by mail.
The upcoming election will include various local races across different municipalities. A significant issue on the ballot countywide is Proposition B, which, if passed, would allow the St. Louis County Council to fire department heads with five affirmative votes from council members.
Absentee ballots can be cast in person from Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the election board headquarters, located at 725 Northwest Plaza Drive. Voters have until the close of business on March 26 to request absentee ballots by mail.

To vote absentee before March 25, voters must meet one of six criteria, such as being out of St. Louis County on election day, being incapacitated or confined due to illness or disability, or being restricted by religious beliefs or practices.
No-excuse absentee voting, which allows any voter to cast a ballot early without providing a reason, will begin on March 25 in St. Louis County. This form of early voting is already underway in the City of St. Louis for the March 4 primary, which includes the mayoral race.
With absentee voting now open, St. Louis County residents have multiple options to participate in the upcoming election, ensuring their voices are heard on important local issues like Proposition B.

Race for Rockland County Executive is on: Parietti on November ballot on 'Good Gov' line
NEW CITY -- Ramapo resident Michael Parietti officially joined the ballot Wednesday as a candidate for Rockland County executive in the Nov. 4 election. The Rockland Board of Elections affirmed that Parietti amassed the minimum 1,500 signatures on petitions to qualify for the ballot on the independent "Good Gov" line. Parietti and his supporters filed more than 3,000 names with the board on May 27. Republican County Executive Ed Day challenged the petitions, but the Board of Elections commissioners sustained the signatures beyond the minimum needed. The commissioners, Democrat Allison Weinraub and Republican Patricia Giblin, informed Parietti by letter on Wednesday. "Upon examination of the specific objection, we hereby rule that the said objection is not sustained and the petition filed by Michael I. Parietti is hereby declared valid," the commissioners wrote. With that notification, Rockland's voters have a choice for county executive. Rockland Democrats did not field a candidate. Parietti said in a statement that more than 3,000 signatures represented broad support across the county. He said that Republican operatives attempted to knock him off the ballot by filing what he called baseless objections to his petitions. Parietti has said that in his numerous past campaigns, he'd never tried to knock a candidate off the ballot, arguing competition is good for the electoral process. 'They hired a high-priced consultant to try and silence voters,' Parietti said. 'But the signatures stood, and democracy won. Now voters can decide between entrenched political interests or new ideas and real accountability for the future of our county.' Day, a Republican seeking his fourth, four-year term as county executive, could not be immediately reached for comment on Wednesday. Day has said he's running on his record. His bread-and-butter issues have been keeping down county property taxes and maintaining services. Day took office in January 2014 with the county facing a deficit of $138 million. The county's 2024 budget paid off a $96 million bond to help cover the deficit. For 2025, the county government has accumulated a fund balance topping $300 million. Day has promoted decreases in county taxes in the last two fiscal years, including a 2% cut in the $876 million budget for 2025. He rose from a New City civic association president to county legislator before winning election as county executive in November 2013. He won his last two elections by comfortable margins. Day started the 2025 election season with no challengers before Parietti filed, as Rockland Democrats could not field a candidate. One registered Democrat, Ernest Morales, a retired police officer, made noise about seeking the party's nomination. But he and his supporters could not muster the required number of signatures to get on the ballot. Steve Lieberman covers government, breaking news, courts, police, and investigations.

Early voting for NYC primary election starts this weekend
NEW YORK (PIX11) — Local election season is here, and early voting for the New York City primary is right around the corner. Early voting begins 10 days before the election and ends on the Sunday before. For this election, that means early voting starts on June 14. More Local News The early voting law signed by the Governor in 2019 was meant to help give voters more flexibility, reduce wait times on Election Day, and ease the burden on poll workers. Below is everything you need to know for early voting in New York City. Early voting for the primary election begins on Saturday and ends on June 22. New York residents registered to vote must go to their assigned early voting site, which can be found on the Board of Elections website. Early voting poll sites can differ from your usual Election Day poll site, so residents are encouraged to check their locations beforehand. More: Latest News from Around the Tri-State New Yorkers can vote by mail and do not need to provide a reason for doing so, as outlined in the New York Early Mail Voter Act. If you have an early mail-in or absentee ballot, you cannot use a voting machine at your poll site.

New Yorkers can request a mail or absentee ballot online until Saturday. Voters with disabilities can also request an accessible ballot online.
