Lowville, NY- The deadline for
potential candidates to file petitions for the upcoming village of Lowville
election passed on Tuesday, with just one candidate filing to appear on the
ballot.
Voters will elect
a mayor and trustee position on March 18th, filling vacancies created
following the January 2025 resignation of elected mayor Joe Beagle. On February 03,
2025, the Village of Lowville Board of Trustees held a special meeting
and appointed deputy mayor and trustee Dan Salmon to fill the
position of mayor until an election to be held in March of 2026. On
February 26, 2025, the Village of Lowville Board of Trustees appointed Jeanna Judd to fill the
vacant trustee seat created by the appointment of Mr. Salmon as mayor.
The process for potential candidates to appear on the March 18th ballot opened in late
December, with a deadline to file completed petitions with the Lewis County
Board of Elections by February 10th.
Just one
candidate completed the process, with Dan Salmon filing petitions to appear
on the ballot for the position of mayor. No candidates filed
to appear on the ballot for the trustee position,
with write-in votes expected to decide who will fill the seat.
The mayor position
will fill the remainder of Mr. Beagle’s original term, running through
March of 2027, while the trustee seat will fill the remainder of Mr.
Salmon’s original trustee term which runs through March of 2028.
The election will
take place on March 18, 2026, with polls open from 12 PM to 9 PM. Voting
will be held at the Lewis County Board of Elections office, located at 7513
East State Street in Lowville.
