Three posts up for grabs in Village of Oxford elections
OXFORD – The Village of Oxford’s annual election is still several months away, but planning has already begun. According to a report Village Clerk Sherry Behe delivered to municipal leaders this week, three positions will be decided in this year’s election, to be held on June 21.
Those positions are that of village mayor and two seats on the village board of trustees. All are 2-year terms.
The positions are currently held by Mayor Terry Stark and Trustees Matt Voce and Joe Spence.
Stark, a Democrat, has served in his present capacity since 2002. Prior to seeking the office, he spent 10 years on the village board of trustees. Voce, a Republican, was appointed to the board in 2000 and is currently serving his fifth elected term. Spence, an Independent, was elected in 2003 and is serving his fourth term. At present, none of the incumbents have indicated whether they intend to seek re-election. Based on the election timeline, there is no need to rush a decision.
The village’s Republican and Democratic candidates are determined by caucus, according to Carol Franklin, Democratic Commissioner of the Chenango County Board of Elections. Those caucuses must take place between April 26 and May 3, and are organized by the respective party’s local committee. In the case of Oxford, she said, Anna Stark is typically the contact for the Democrats and Matt Voce for the Republicans.
Those without unaffiliated with those two parties may petition to be included on the June ballot.
“The first day to file an independent petition is May 10,” Franklin said. Those interested in obtaining a petition should contact the Chenango County Board of Elections at 337-1765 or 337-1764.
The 2011 election will take place on Tuesday, June 21 at the Village of Oxford Fire Department. Polls will be open from noon to 9 p.m. on the day.
According to the board of elections, 58 voters turned out for the June 2010 election, a number which equates to less than 4 percent of the village’s total population. It did, however, represent an increase over the prior two years, when 28 people voted.
