Scarsdale residents still have some time to get registered to vote in the upcoming village election.
The deadline to register to vote in the March 19, 2013 village election is Friday, March 8.
Residents that are not registered to vote can register with the Westchester County Board of Elections.
Here is some important information on the March 19 election and registering to vote provided by the Scarsdale Town Clerk's Office:
You may pick up a mail-in registration form at Village Hall, or you may go directly to the Westchester County Board of Election, 25 Quarropas Street, White Plains.
In order to register to vote, you must:

For registered voters who will be out of Westchester County on Village Election Day, an absentee ballot can be obtained by filling out an application form at Village Hall or by requesting one by phone or mail. March 12 is the last day for the Village Clerk to receive an application for an absentee ballot which is to be mailed to a qualified voter; however, applications made in person can be accepted until Monday, March 18, 2013.
