Last Chance: Primary Voter Registration

We know residents in Pleasantville and Briarcliff have busy lives, so we want to make things a little easier by reminding you about those approaching deadlines. Do you know of a deadline in the next week that's not included here? Let us know in the comments or email pleasantville@patch.com. You can also post your own event or announcement for everyone to see.

Two voting deadlines this week:

• First off, it's the last week to have a say in which local businesses win  in categories ranging from burgers and hair salons to nursery schools. Polls are open until Friday, Aug. 17, so get voting. 

• In official election news, Friday, Aug. 17 is also an important registration deadline for state and local primaries:
