If you’re not registered to vote, you can only vote in the general election on Nov. 8 if you register by Oct. 14.
You can register by calling the Board of Elections at (866) VOTE-NYC to request a voter registration form or visit http://vote.nyc.ny.us/ to print one out. But forms must be postmarked by the 14th.
If you think you’re cutting it close, you can register in person at the Bronx office of the Board of Elections at 1780 Grand Concourse, 5th floor. The phone number there is (718) 299-9017.
Regardless of who you vote for, voting matters. Politicians take notice of the number of people who show up to vote. It’s no secret that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, but you can’t squeak if you don’t register.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students. As you navigate this website, please let us know if you discover any glitches or if you have any suggestions. We’d love to hear from you.
