Local Election Round Up: Who’s on the Ballot for Saratoga County’s Village Elections

Well, it’s election day. Again.

In addition to the school elections in May, primary elections in June, and general elections in November, New York will have its Village elections this Tuesday, March 18. While there are nine villages in Saratoga County, only three will host contested elections this Tuesday: Corinth, Victory, and Waterford.

Of the remaining six, two villages — South Glens Falls and Galway, both have candidates running unopposed. Meanwhile, the Villages of Stillwater, Schuylerville, Round Lake, and Ballston Spa all hold their elections at different times.

For those who live in the three villages with seats on the line, here is a brief guide on where to vote and who is on the ballot.
