Suffolk Voters Approve Ballot Measure Extending Length of County Legislative Terms
Suffolk County voters approved a referendum to extend the length of terms for county legislators from two to four years.
Winners in the Suffolk races will serve a truncated three-year term and can run for reelection in 2028.
A referendum, Proposition 2, was approved in a rebuke to the state shifting local elections to even years.
- If the referendum had failed, county legislators would have had to run again in 2026.
- Statewide, voters were asked whether to amend the state Constitution to allow an Olympic sports complex to build new Nordic ski and biathlon trails in the Adirondack forest preserve.
Development in the Adirondack Park requires constitutional permission.
