Suffolk Voters Approve Ballot Measure Extending County Legislative Terms
Suffolk County voters have 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 three-year term and can run for reelection in 2028. The approval of the referendum, Proposition 2, means that legislators will not have to run again in 2026.
Statewide, voters were also asked to consider a constitutional amendment to allow the development of an Olympic sports complex in the Adirondack forest preserve.
Development in the Adirondack Park requires constitutional permission.
The referendum's approval is seen as a response to the state's decision to shift local elections to even years.
