Special Election
This special election is administered by the Red Rock Central School District. Please follow the voting instructions above. Many of the voting systems typical of a general election, such as the one held last November, are not applicable for this special election. Examples are: only one polling place on Election Day, only one early voting polling place, no "Mail-in Ballot Only" precincts. While county and state elections officials have trained the election judges for this election, their role in this election is minimal. Please call the school district with questions.
