Forty distinct contests appear on the ballot for Westchester County residents in the 2026 general election.

The November 3, 2026, election includes races for governor, lieutenant governor, state comptroller, and attorney general.

The ballot further lists contests for 16 county legislator seats, 10 town supervisor positions, and various village boards and judicial roles.

Polling stations will open at 6 a.m. and close at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, November 3. Early voting has already taken place for those who opted for that method. The League of Women Voters of Westchester County has hosted candidate forums and debates for the public to hear from the contenders.
