Great Neck residents will be heading to the polls next week to vote in three village elections featuring only uncontested incumbents.
The villages of Great Neck, Kings Point and Lake Success will be holding elections June 18.
No challengers filed for candidacy in the three elections. While only incumbents will be on the ballot, voters can write in candidates on their ballot.
Great Neck
Two trustee seats are up for election in the Village of Great Neck. Deputy Mayor Barton Sobel and Trustee Eli Kashi will be running for re-election to these two seats.
Both are running in an uncontested election.
The two trustee positions are for a two-year term on the board. Both Sobel and Kashi faced their last election in 2022 where they defeated challenger Sam Yellis.
Sobel is a Great Neck-based attorney who has served on the Board of Trustees since 2010. His prior service includes a spot on a parks citizen advisory board, the village Planning Board and the Friends of the Great Neck Parks group.
Kashi is a local business owner who has served on the board since 2020.
The Village of Great Neck election will be held from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m. on June 18 at the Great Neck House, located at 14 Arrandale Ave.
