COLONIE — A proposition to extend the town supervisor’s term from two to four years garnered nearly 10,000 votes before Election Day, hinting it may be a tough win for either side.
Yes votes outnumbered No votes by a 54-46 percent margin once the county Board of Elections released its initial unofficial numbers shortly after 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 8.
If approved, both the supervisor and clerk would run in the same election cycle as the largest countywide government elections, including county executive, sheriff, comptroller and the Legislature.
