Seventy-eight candidates are running for town-level offices in more than two dozen races across the five East End towns this Election Day, but over a third of those candidates are running unopposed.
Of the 18 contested races and 10 that are uncontested, the towns of East Hampton and Southold have seven each, Southampton has a half dozen, and Shelter Island and Riverhead both have four that voters will find on their ballots. Four of the five town supervisor seats are on ballots and of those, half of the incumbents are facing no challenger this year.
