Special election being held in Yorktown to fill vacant town council seat

"

Voters in Yorktown will head to the polls today in a special election to fill a vacant seat on the town council. This is the second special election held in Yorktown this year, following the sudden death of Town Supervisor Ed Diana in January. Today, Diana's widow, Donna Diana, is facing off against former Town Supervisor Susan Siegel for the vacant seat. Diana died of an apparent heart attack less than a week after taking the oath of office in January. Republican Ed Lachterman, who served on the town council , was appointed acting supervisor after Diana's death. In April, Lachterman was elected to the position in a special election. The town council then called for another special election to fill the vacant seat on the council left by Lachterman, as there are three and a half years remaining in the term. Polls open at 6 p.m. and close at 9 p.m. Voters can find their polling location on the Town of Yorktown website. "
