Most town and county offices moved to even-numbered years under a 2023 state law. Town Board and Clerk seats elected in 2025 and 2027 are the last odd-year races for those offices, so those terms are one year shorter once. Town Justice stays on odd years.
Use the table above. Ask us which seats are likely to be open.
