Ulster County legislators are meeting in Kingston on Tuesday (March 17) to discuss a request from the Board of Elections for expanded space at its Hurley Avenue location. The board wants additional room for training election workers and preparing for upcoming school board elections. If approved, this proposal would add more than $16,000 to the current building lease, which is set to expire in December.
The space expansion aims to better accommodate training sessions and improve election preparations. According to a recent report by the Daily Freeman, the Legislature is also scheduled to hold public hearings on other local issues during its Wednesday (March 18) meeting, but the Board of Elections’ request is among the key items on the agenda.
Legislators are expected to review the details of the lease increase and consider how the additional space could be used for both immediate and future election needs. Members of the public may attend the meeting at the Ulster County Office Building or submit written comments to the clerk of the Legislature.

A final decision on the Board of Elections’ request will likely be made before the current lease expires in December.
