N.Y. Second Class Cities Law § 14: Elections

§ 14. Elections. All elections of city officers, including supervisors

and judicial officers of a city court or inferior local court, shall be

held on the Tuesday succeeding the first Monday in November, and, except

to fill vacancies, in an odd-numbered year. All such elections shall be

held at the same time and places as the general election held in such

year, and shall be conducted in all respects in the same manner as

general elections in cities are required to be conducted, and all the

provisions of law relative to such elections shall be applicable to the

election for officers of the city. In case of the failure to elect an

elective city officer, except as otherwise provided herein, the office

shall be deemed to be vacant for the purpose of choosing a successor and

the vacancy shall be filled in the manner provided herein for the

filling of a vacancy in such office happening otherwise than by

expiration of term.
