Pearl River Elections 2019: Candidates, Voting

PEARL RIVER, NY — Election Day is Nov. 5, though Pearl River 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, with 13 of 17 races contested.

Pearl River is mostly in legislative District 15 and 16, of the four legislative districts — 10, 15, 16 and 17 — that cover Orangetown. In District 15, Julie Goldberg and John McGowan are vying for the seat being vacated by retiring Legislator Pat Moroney. District 16 lawmaker Vincent Tyer is uncontested in his bid for re-election.

Orangetown residents, no matter what community they live in, must choose a town supervisor.

Nearby, Clarkstown and 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.
