    Lewis County, NY- With election day quickly approaching, on Tuesday,
    November 8th, we've put together a preview of what you can expect to see on
    Lewis County ballots. Polls will be open from 6 AM until 9 PM on Tuesday for
    registered voters to cast their ballot.

    We will start with races that will appear on all ballots in Lewis County. As we all
    know, this year, at the top of the ticket, we will be electing a new President and
    Vice President of the United States. Voters will have a choice between four
    candidates on the ballot:

    -Hillary Clinton/Tim Kaine- Democratic/Working Families/Women's Equality lines
    -Donald Trump/Michael Pence- Republican/Conservative lines
    -Jill Stein/Ajuma Baraka- Green line
    -Gary Johnson/Bill Weld- Independence/Libertarian lines

    On the New York State level, voters statewide will be electing a representative
    to the United States Senate. Incumbent Charles E. Schumer will be
    represented on the Democratic line as well as four independent lines, and is
    challenged by Wendy Long running on the Republican and Conservative lines.
    Third party candidates Robin Laverne Wilson (Green Party) and Alex Merced
    (Libertarian Party) are also options on the ballot.

    In the race for New York State's 21st Congressional District, voters will have
    three options to choose from. Incumbent Elise Stefanik is running on the
    Republican, Conservative, Independence and Reform party lines and is
    challenged by Mike Derrick on the Democratic and Working Families line and
    Matthew Funiciello on the Green Party line.

    Voters will be asked to select two justices for the 5th Circuit of the New York
    State Supreme Court. The five candidates for the two positions are:
    Democratic Line- Ted Limpert and Scott DelConte
