Oswego County voters choose county legislators and an Assembly member; one candidate is on the ballot for sheriff
Polls in Oswego County are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3, according to the county Board of Elections. Seats in all 25 districts of the Oswego County Legislature are on the ballot, and county Democrats fielded 17 candidates, more than in any year going back to at least 2009, New York Focus reported Oct. 30. The ballot also carries races for county sheriff and the 120th Assembly District, along with statewide, congressional and State Senate contests, according to the board's sample ballots. Democrats held seven of the 25 seats going into the election after winning five new seats in 2025, and about two-thirds of this year's legislative races have two candidates, New York Focus reported. On the sample ballots posted for the City of Oswego, the 120th Assembly District line lists Timothy C. Allers (Democratic) and Jim Weatherup (Republican, Conservative). Donald R. Hilton is the only candidate for county sheriff; his name is printed twice, on the Republican and Conservative lines. The ballot instructions say voters who make a mistake can call the Board of Elections at (315) 349-8471 for a new ballot.
