Democrats have gained 239 voter registrations in the Town of Dryden since May, while Republicans have gained 99, giving Democrats a 138-vote lead in registrations. Voters with no party registration (Blank) have also increased 165.
| Party | Number (May) | Number (Oct) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blank (Independent) | 1720 | 1885 | +165 |
| Conservative | 71 | 81 | +10 |
| Democratic | 2803 | 3042 | +239 |
| Green | 110 | 130 | +20 |
| Independence | 251 | 280 | +29 |
| Liberal | 69 | 74 | +5 |
| Republican | 2805 | 2904 | +99 |
| Right-to-Life | 21 | 20 | -1 |
| Working Families | 20 | 26 | +6 |
There are now 8444 voters registered in the town, up from 7870 in May. Of those, 7415 of the same people were registered in May, so there's been some dropping of old names as well as adding of new ones. Of the 455 dropped, 120 were Blank, 166 were Democrats, 15 were Greens, 19 were Independence, 3 were Liberals, 131 were Republicans, and 1 was Right-To-Life.
I've put district-by-district registration counts up as a PDF (94KB).

Wow. That's quite a site. Makes me look at the whole pictures-of-meetings thing differently!
