This notice is to inform you that the Nassau County Civil Service Commission is in the process of transitioning to canvassing by email. Several agencies have been given the authority to send canvass letters to the email address you provided on your exam application, while others may continue canvassing by US Mail until the transition period is complete.

You must respond to all canvass letters received by mail or email – MORE THAN TWO NO-RESPONSES TO CANVASS LETTERS WILL RESULT IN THE REMOVAL OF A CANDIDATE FROM THE ELIGIBLE LIST.

What if the email goes to my Spam or Junk folders?
It is recommended that you save no-reply@nassaucountyny.gov in your contact list to reduce the likelihood of these emails going to your spam or junk folders. It is your responsibility to regularly check your email and respond to all canvass letters.

How do I return electronic canvass letters?
The email will have a link to the canvass letter. The link works best on desktops, but many mobile phones have successfully been used as well. Review the details outlined in the canvass letter, select your availability and submit your response. The canvassing agency will receive your reply and will proceed accordingly.
