The Village of Minoa conducts municipal elections for Mayor and Board of Trustees positions. These elections typically take place in March of odd-numbered years, with the next scheduled for March 2025. Voters choose a Mayor for a two-year term and Trustees serving staggered four-year terms. Information about candidates and ballot measures appears on the village website and through notices posted at Village Hall, 240 North Main Street. Residents vote at assigned polling places based on their street address. The specific location can be found using the New York State Board of Elections polling place locator at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov or by calling the county Board of Elections directly. Most local voters are assigned to either area schools or the Minoa Fire Department depending on where they live. Public election records in New York include voter registration lists, which qualified requesters can purchase for political purposes, campaign finance disclosure reports filed with the New York State Board of Elections at www.elections.ny.gov/CFViewReports.html, candidate petition filings, and certified results broken down by precinct and municipality. During the November 2024 presidential election, Onondaga County saw roughly 58-62% voter turnout among registered voters, with more than 140,000 ballots cast countywide. Turnout in the village generally tracks with county averages, particularly strong during presidential election years. On November 3, 2026, voters here will participate in statewide elections including the Governor of New York race (the gubernatorial term expires in 2026), all New York State Assembly seats (two-year terms), half of the New York State Senate seats (two-year terms for certain districts), the New York State Comptroller, and the New York State Attorney General. While no U.S. Senate seat from New York is scheduled for election in 2026 (Senator Schumer's seat was last up in 2022 and Senator Gillibrand's in 2024), residents will decide on county positions including Onondaga County Legislature seats, county judges if any terms expire, and potentially the Onondaga County Executive depending on the cycle. The Town of Manlius, which covers the village, may have supervisor and council positions on the ballot in odd-year elections. Voters should check the Onondaga County Board of Elections website closer to the election date for a complete list of races and ballot propositions.
