Tomorrow, October 8th, is the last day to register to vote in the November general election in New York State. If you haven't registered yet, you can go to the Board of Elections office (map) until Friday at 5:00pm. Mailed-in registrations must be postmarked no later than tomorrow as well. (If anyone in Dryden needs a registration form, you can call me at 256-5334.)
There will also be a last-chance registration session on Saturday, October 9th from 2-9pm at the Dryden Town Hall (map) and at other town and city halls in the county.
It's also time to think about absentee ballots. You can get an application at the Board of Elections office or online. Applications by mail must be sent by October 26th, and applications in person at the Board of Elections offices may be made until November 1st.
The Ithaca Journal reports a decline in the number of students scoring three or four on state math tests for Dryden fourth and eighth graders, while middle school scores for the state generally went up. In the Ithaca district, the number of eighth graders getting a three or four went up while the number of fourth graders getting a three or four declined.
There's also a notice for next Saturday's tire collection at the Dryden Highway Department (map).
