EARLY VOTING DETAILS RELEASED
By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT
QUEENSBURY | This November, residents of New York state will have new options on when they can vote. Early voting in the Nov. 5 general election is to be held in Warren County each day from Saturday, Oct. 26, through Sunday, Nov. 3, at the county Board of Elections office, located on the third floor of the county Human Services building at 1340 state Route 9. The county election commissioners released details about early voting procedures this week. All registered voters can vote early, and the process is virtually identical to the process citizens are used to. However, check-in for voters is now conducted on computer tablets with the help of an election inspector utilizing a digital

database rather than looking up names in poll books. The county Board of Elections is holding early voting sessions on the above two Saturdays, Oct. 26 and Nov. 2, and on Sundays, Oct. 27 and Nov. 3. The sessions will also be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29; Thursday, Oct. 31; and Friday, Nov. 1. On Monday, Oct. 28, and Wednesday, Oct. 30, the county’s early voting sessions are to be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Early voting results will be reported soon after 9 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 5. The early voting opportunity does not change the option of voting by an absentee ballot — available to those registered voters whose circumstances meet the qualifications specified on the Warren County Board of Elections website.

WARRENSBURG | Each year, hundreds of area citizens gather to bid on gift baskets as a way to contribute to a time-honored charity that brightens the holiday season for dozens of local families. This year, Florence LaPoint’s 18th-annual “Gift Baskets Galore” silent-auction fundraiser is to be held Saturday, Oct. 19, in a new venue — the Warrensburg Elementary School gym — because the local high school “Cafetorium” is under extensive renovation. The gift baskets, more than 140 this year, are filled with items and services donated by area merchants. Viewing of the baskets and placing bids on them starts at 12:30 p.m. and concludes at 2 p.m. when the drawings for the winners begin. Single admission is $10, which provides 25 chances in the drawings. Additional tickets are available for $5. Children age 5 and older are
required to purchase an admission ticket. Tickets may be purchased in advance from Willows Bistro on Main Street in Warrensburg, or at Starla’s Shoppe, formerly Sutton’s café, on state Route 9 in Queensbury. Advance ticket purchase is recommended; however, tickets will be available at the door. The event raises money for the local Operation Santa Claus, an effort that’s been helping people for 34 years. The charity is spearheaded in the Warrensburg area by former local school teacher Florence LaPoint, who for generations ran a dance studio in town. “We deeply appreciate the generosity of all the businesses and individuals who have donated,” she said, praised the dozens of volunteers who help her each as she year. Warrensburg’s Operation Santa Claus provides clothes and food for families in the Warrensburg School District who are facing urgent needs. For more information about this event or Operation Santa Claus, call LaPoint at 623-3531. ■
