Committee authorizes county to administer New Paltz special election held June 9

Laws, Rules, and Government Services Committee · August 14, 2026

Summary

The committee approved an intermunicipal agreement authorizing Ulster County to provide polling materials and administer a June 9, 2026 New Paltz special election; the county commissioner said the election was small (about 12 voters) and used paper ballots.

The committee unanimously authorized Resolution 445, permitting the chair of the Ulster County Legislature to sign an intermunicipal agreement with the Town of New Paltz for use of county polling equipment and administrative assistance for a June 9, 2026 special election. The county commissioner described the vote as a small, low‑cost special election to approve a property sale for affordable housing and said the town provided short notice but the county accommodated the request.

The commissioner reported, "I think our entire voter poll was 12 people, so they did not use a machine. We used paper ballots." Members approved the resolution without further comment.
