The Suffolk County Board of Elections has updated election results after counting absentee and other ballots, says Heather Reylek, Shelter Island Democratic Committee chair. They confirm the Election Day results: Gerry Siller for Superintendent and Mike Bebon and Jim Colligan for Town Council, Reylek says.
Shelter Island voters overwhelmingly picked Democratic challenger Gerry Siller to be the next Town Supervisor. Siller, who held the post decades ago, beat one-term Republican incumbent Gary Gerth by 700-514 votes and led an apparent Democratic sweep in races for the top Town spots.
Election Day voting on Shelter Island takes place at the Shelter Island School, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. The 2019 Shelter Island ballot includes choices for Town positions, as well as for County-wide offices, and District and Family Court judges.

The Suffolk County Board of Elections is rolling out early voting for New York's general election. That means we're no longer limited to one day of voting. Instead, we'll have numerous chances to weigh in (but still get just one vote per person!) And during early voting, we can cast our ballots from any early voting location in Suffolk County.
