Nanuet Patch Elections 2019: Candidates, Voting

NANUET, NY — Election Day is Nov. 5, though Nanuet residents have nine days to try out early voting, which started Oct. 26. Early voting opportunities continue from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m Nov. 1 and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 2 and 3.

The early voting sites in Rockland are at town hall for each of the county's four towns. The early voting results will be canvassed and reported after 9 p.m. on Election Day.

For information on your polling place on Election Day, sample ballots, voting by absentee ballot and other questions, visit the Rockland Board of Elections' website.

Control of the Rockland County Legislature is a big issue in 2019, as the results will affect how the legislative districts are re-drawn for the next decade. The Nanuet community was divided among three legislative districts in 2011 — 9, 14 and 15 — and many residents felt at the time that the redistricting hurt their interests and deprived them of power. All three district seats are contested in 2019.

Locally, no matter what ward they live in, Clarkstown town residents have to pick a representative to the town council. They also have contested races for supervisor and highway superintendent.

Nearby, Orangetown residents must choose a town supervisor and a highways superintendent. Town of Ramapo residents have to choose supervisor, town council and highway superintendent.

Nyack village residents have to pick two trustees from the three running for the job.

Spring Valley residents must pick two from among five people running for village board of trustees.

All Rocklanders have to pick a new district attorney. Vying for the post, Thomas Walsh is on every major party line on the ballot, while Mike Diederich's name appears on the Serve Rockland line. Ken Zebrowski appears on the Working Families line but is not running for the office.

Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco is uncontested in his bid for re-election, and candidates in Piermont and South Nyack are uncontested.
