By entering a street address, voters can find biographical information, photos, and answers to questions by candidates for East Hampton and Southampton Town supervisor, town board, town trustee, and other town positions, the Suffolk County executive and Legislature race, and the two state proposals that will be on the ballot. Proposal 1 is titled a Constitutional Amendment Removing the Debt Limit on Small City School Districts. Proposal 2 is a Constitutional Amendment Excluding Sewage From Local Indebtedness.

The website works for elections across the country.

Early voting started on Saturday and continues through Sunday. The site here is Windmill Village at 219 Accabonac Road in East Hampton.
