Voting & Elections
Where and how to vote in Speigletown — key dates, early voting, your Election Day poll site, and how to check your registration.
Speigletown straddles the Towns of Schaghticoke and Brunswick, so there isn't one polling place for the hamlet: where you vote depends on your street address and your election district. The state lookup below confirms both, along with your registration and what's on your ballot.
