SPECIAL ELECTION BEGINS by Thomas Dimopoulos Saratoga TODAY
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Readying for retirement after serving ballot-casters in Saratoga the past 15 or so years, the county’s aging voting machines will be pressed back into service one more time for a special election to place in Saratoga Springs. Election Day is Tuesday, Jan. 28. In advance of Election Day, nine days of early voting
will get underway Saturday Jan. 18 in a citywide vote to elect a Commissioner of Public Works in Saratoga Springs. The election will decide the DPW Commissioner/ fifth city council member to complete the regular balance of the term, which concludes Dec. 31, 2025. All five city councilmember positions – four commissioners and a mayor – will be up for new two-year terms this November. See Story pg. 9
