10 New Members Elected to Citizens Nominating Committee

Andrew Sereysky and Ralph Geer manned the poll. at Scarsdale Public LibraryTen new members were elected to serve on the Scarsdale Citizens Nominating Committee (CNC) on Thursday November 13, 2025. These new members will join current CNC members for a total of 30 Scarsdale residents serving on the CNC. Together, the CNC will vet and nominate a slate of non-partisan candidates to run in Scarsdale’s March election for three open Village Trustee positions.

A total of 236 votes were received, 97 mail in ballot and 139 in person votes at the Scarsdale Library. In 2024, 342 votes were cast.

For the first time, Scarsdale Village would not provide the metal ballot boxes, and that left CNC Procedure Committee Chair Ralph Geer scrambling to find a last minute solution. He turned to Amazon, and voila, he was able to secure these new ballot boxes in time.

For next year, the Technology Class at Scarsdale Middle School will create wood ballot boxes that can be locked – and used for elections for the Citizens Nominating Committee and the Scarsdale Board Nominating Committee.
