The races and candidates
Saratoga Springs voters head to the polls in as little as four weeks, and vote on 11 positions, four of which are uncontested.
Con. = Conservative; Dem. = Democrat; GOP = Republican; One = One Saratoga; WFP = Working Families Party. An “I” indicates the incumbent, if there is one. (One Saratoga is not a political party but a group of about 16 people who have gotten a line on the ballot. Their purpose is to endorse the best candidate regardless of party, their website says. They are included here because they have a line on the ballot.)
Names in bold red are linked to the candidate’s campaign page, if available.
