Deadlines for new registrations and change of address for the Nov. 8 general election have passed, according to Delaware County Board of Elections (BOE) Commissioner Judith Garrison. Those who have moved within the county or state, must go to the polling place that corresponds to their new address. Call the Delaware County Board of Election office at 607-832-5321 for the correct location, if necessary.
