Nearly two dozen villages in western New York located not far from Rochester will conduct village elections on Wednesday, March 18.
Voting hours and the precise seats up for a vote are unique to each village. Available seats include mayor, village trustee and village justice.
Two Monroe County – Hilton and Scottsville – villages will host March 18 elections. Numerous other village elections will take place in Ontario, Wayne, Livingston, Genesee and Orleans counties.
