LWV Suffolk County 2 2021 Directory of Public Officials Important Information for Voters

As a citizen (age 18 or older), you have the right and responsibility to vote in elections. Educate yourself on the candidates and issues in each election, whether local or national. Once the Suffolk County Board of Elections has processed your registration, you will be mailed a card indicating your polling place. If you do not receive the card or have questions, you may call them at (631) 852-4500. You are able to vote early in all the primaries (if registered in a party before February 15, 2021) and in the general election. Early Voting begins 10 days before the regular voting date and goes through to the Sunday before Election Day. Your polling place for Early Voting most often is different from your regular poll site and has different hours. Check with the Suffolk County Board of Elections to find the sites and times. Votes cast in Early Voting are counted on Election Day. If you will be out of Suffolk County on Election Day, or are physically unable to get to the polling place because of temporary illness or physical disability or duties related as primary caretaker of a physically disabled or ill person, you may request an absentee ballot application from the Board of Elections. In 2021 unless there is another emergency declared and an executive order, there is no “no-excuse” absentee ballot or automatic mailing of an absentee ballot application to all registered voters. To be sure your request is processed, ask for the absentee ballot at least 4 weeks before Election Day. This is a two-step process. ALWAYS check the New York State Board of Elections website www.elections.ny.gov. It is updated frequently. They are also responsive via telephone at (518) 474-6220. ID Needed for Voting in New York State Federal law requires persons who register by mail for the first time to provide identification. Identification means a current NYS driver’s license or the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you do not have either of these, you may provide a copy of a valid photo ID, or a current utility bill, bank statement, government check or some other government documentation that shows your name and address. If you do not provide identification when you register, you may be asked for it the first time you vote. NEVER LEAVE THE POLLING PLACE WITHOUT VOTING! If your name is not on the list, ask for an affidavit ballot! On Election Day all polling places in Suffolk County are open from 6am to 9pm.

The Community College budget is approved prior to the start of the academic year on September 1. The 2020- 2021 Adopted Suffolk County Community College Operating Budget is $216,853,147.The following paragraphs address only the County’s 2021 operating budget. The fiscal year for the operating budget starts January 1. The information included here can only be considered an overview of a quite complex subject. Operating Budget timeline • The County Executive holds two hearings on his proposed budget in August. • The County Executive submits his proposed budget to the Legislature on or before the third Friday in September. • The Legislature holds two hearings, completed by October 31. • By November 10, the Legislature must act to amend the proposed budget, and submit it to the County Executive. • The County Executive may veto the whole budget, or individual line items, before November 21, or the budget is adopted as submitted. Points to keep in mind: Revenue comes from property taxes, sales tax, state aid, federal aid, and other sources. The revenue stream included in the budget is only an estimate of the amounts that can be anticipated. If retail sales fall, the 8.625% sales tax yield will not be as great as anticipated. Similarly, if homeowners and business owners do not promptly pay their property tax, there is a shortfall. The county borrows money in anticipation of receiving this revenue; therefore, debt service is required because of this borrowing. A general view of the 2021 anticipated revenue is shown in pie chart A. Expenditures are for personnel, debt service, and a wide variety of services, such as police, education and economic assistance. Some expenditures are mandated by the state and federal government, which restricts the freedom of the county to apportion expenditures. The proposed 2021 expenditures are shown in pie chart B. The largest functions are economic assistance, employee benefits and public safety. Transfer to other funds represents inter- departmental transfers for services, such as personnel benefits, vehicle maintenance, etc. About 42% of the $3.20 billion budget is “mandated” by various state and federal programs, such as Medicaid. The remainder is “discretionary.” Townships - The budgets of the 10 towns in the county are separate from the county budget. Comparison: • The taxable full valuation of property in the county is $330.4 billion. According to the 2010 census there were 499,918 households in Suffolk County. • According to the 2010 census, the county population – 1.5 million – is larger than Alaska, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming.
