Vote for one candidate. It is a two-year term. Candidates are listed in the order they appear on the ballot.

The town board is a legislative body. It decides the type of services the town will provide, implements an annual budget for the town and sets policies that don’t conflict with general laws. A town board is typically comprised of five people, including the town supervisor and the town council members.
The town supervisor is the head of the town board. They vote alongside the council members, but also hold executive power that council members do not. They lead town board meetings, represent the board to the media and the public and prepare the town’s budget that then must be approved by the council members.
