(Enterprise photo â Elizabeth Izzo) LAKE PLACID Voters headed to the polls Tuesday to choose a new majority for the Lake Placid Village Board of Trustees. Results were not available by press time. Lake Placid residents voted at the North Elba Town Hall between noon and 9 p.m. to choose a new mayor, two trustees and a justice. Face coverings were required to vote, due to the COVID-19 pandemic; that also drove many people to vote absentee this year.

LAKE PLACID Voters in this village are heading to the polls today at the North Elba Town Hall between noon and 9 p.m. to choose a new mayor, two village trustees and a village justice.
As Lake Placid Mayor Craig Randall retires after 12 years at the helm, two people are seeking votes to replace him: Trustee and Deputy Mayor Art Devlin and former Mayor Jamie Rogers.
Devlin has reached his three-term limit on the village board; therefore, his seat is open. And current Trustee Scott Monroe is seeking a third term. The other candidates are Marc Galvin, Colin Hayes and Jackie Kelly.

Village voters who filled out an absentee ballot, but decide on Election Day to vote in person, can do so but only the in-person vote will be counted. Running to succeed longtime Mayor Craig Randall, who is term-limited and cannot run for reelection, are current Trustee and Deputy Mayor Art Devlin on the Republican and Teamwork party lines, and former mayor Jamie Rogers on the Common Sense party line.
