ELECTION 2026 · TOWN OF BABYLON

Some races are still being counted. These are the unofficial results for the races on Town of Babylon ballots, as posted early Wednesday by the New York State Board of Elections (as of 1:32 a.m. Wed Nov 4) and the Suffolk County Board of Elections (as of 12:24 a.m. Wed Nov 4). Affidavit ballots had not yet been reported in Suffolk, and mail ballots postmarked by Election Day can still arrive through November 10. Where a race has been called, we say who called it. Otherwise we say who is ahead.

A note on the state’s percentages: they count blank and void ballots in the total, so a race’s figures do not add up to 100.

Around the nation. According to the Associated Press, Democrats won control of both the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate. Thirty-six states elected governors on Tuesday, the AP reported.

Why these numbers can still change. Election night totals are unofficial. The state Board of Elections says every vote cast during early voting and on Election Day is recanvassed, and every valid early mail, absentee, military, overseas, special and affidavit ballot is counted, before a result can be certified. A mail ballot postmarked by Election Day still counts if it reaches the Board by Tuesday, November 10. The state’s statewide totals also do not yet include a significant number of emergency Election Day ballots from Westchester County, the Board says. Counties usually certify a general election within 25 days. A close race may not be settled for some time.

The first people to see the count. Before any number reached a website, it came off a machine at your poll site, in the hands of a poll worker. Under state rules, every one of them must be a registered New York voter, working in the county where they live. They set up the voting equipment, sign in voters, demonstrate how voting works, and assist any voter who asks. At 9 p.m. they close the polling place, then canvass and report the results. They are paid for their training and for each day they work.

Some of them may be teenagers. The state says a 17-year-old can be eligible if their school district takes part in a program under Education Law Section 3207-a. If you would like to be the one opening the doors next time, the state’s poll worker page has the application, and the Suffolk County Board of Elections handles assignments here.
