Croton-Harmon To Hold Q&A Tuesday On Ballot Printing Problem

CROTON-ON-HUDSON, NY — Croton-Harmon school district officials will hold a question-and-answer session Tuesday at 5 p.m. to alert community members to the regional problem with absentee ballots.

"It was our intention for voters to have already received their absentee ballots. Unfortunately, we were informed by the printing company that the ballots would not be mailed on the date expected," wrote District Clerk Tracey Borges. "Though this is understandable with 700 districts in the state on the same timeline, we were expecting that our expeditious handling and diligent management of this responsibility would prevent any delays."

Borges said the district hired a printer who promised that the ballots would be mailed on Monday, June 1.

Since ballots must be received by the district by 5 p.m. June 9, district officials encourage residents to fill out and return the ballot as soon as they receive it.

You can either use the postage paid envelope, or drop your ballot off at the Croton-Harmon District Office at 10 Gerstein Street. There is a drop box at the main entrance that can be accessed at any time.

On Tuesday, June 2, 2020 at 5 p.m. Tuesday, District Administration officials and the District Clerk will be hosting a Live Question & Answer Informational Hour regarding how to complete your absentee ballot, as well as a discussion of the 2020-21 School Budget.
