The elected Commissioners, who have staggered three-year terms, govern the District. One of the three Commissioner positions is up for election each year. As per New York State law, Special District elections are held on the second Tuesday in December and are generally held at the Polish American Hall at 5 Pulaski Place, Port Washington. We recommend that you check the location as each election approaches as this location is subject to change.
All residents that live within the District are eligible to run for office. The District boundaries can be found on the Collection Flyer on the Home page. The District is comprised of the Yellow and Green collection areas plus the HarborView community. If you have any questions or are interested in being elected a Commissioner, please contact the District to learn the requirements to be placed on the ballot.
