Decision 2013

By Nancy Kriz
This year’s election season is shaping up to be among the most memorable in recent years.

In addition to candidates running on the Democratic, Republican, Conservative, Independent and Working Families’ party lines, other grassroots groups and individuals have created third political parties to challenge traditional party lines. They include the Had Enough, United Monroe, Green and Clear Government and Tuxedo Today parties.

Registered voters
According to Orange County Board of Elections statistics, there are 21,608 registered voters in the Town of Warwick.
