Andrew Cuomo

Where in the state is Andrew Cuomo living?

The former governor is registered to vote at brother-in-law Kenneth Cole’s Westchester mansion, but he’s voted absentee for the past three years – and Cole’s house is on the market.

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo may soon need to find a new voting home now that his sister is selling the house where he’s registered to vote. If he’s serious about running for New York City mayor, it might be the opportune time to start voting in the Big Apple for the first time in nearly two decades.

Since he resigned as governor in 2021, Cuomo has been registered to vote at the Westchester home shared by his sister Maria Cuomo Cole and her husband, fashion designer Kenneth Cole. Shortly after he resigned, the New York Post reported that the freshly unemployed and technically homeless Cuomo moved his stuff to the Westchester house after leaving the Governor’s Mansion in Albany. But the swanky $22 million, seven-bedroom mansion in Purchase that has housed the Cole family for over three decades was put on the market earlier this month. It isn’t clear where the Coles are planning to move to or whether Cuomo will join them.

Cuomo has privately speculated about running for mayor in New York City, according to numerous reports, but he hasn’t yet set up a permanent residence in the city. It’s not a requirement under state law – to be elected mayor, one only needs to live in the city on Election Day – but it would be a natural move for the ex-governor who has led a fairly nomadic post-gubernatorial life. Although he’s been registered to vote at his sister’s Westchester home since 2021, he’s rumored to have stayed with friends in the Hamptons for at least some time. And Cuomo has voted absentee in every election he has participated in since registering in Purchase, according to state records.

A spokesperson for Cuomo declined to comment on where he currently lives and whether he plans to move with his sister and brother-in-law if they remain in New York.
