Village election to be held March 18

Two candidates filed petitions to appear on the March 18 ballot for two open seats on the Nelsonville Village Board. 

Maria Zhynovitch is seeking her third, 2-year term, while Alan Potts will run for the seat being vacated by Travis Biro. Potts served on the board from 2017 to 2019 and ran for a seat in 2019, 2021 and 2022. The other members of the board are Mayor Chris Winward, David Moroney and Douglas Anderson, whose seats will be on the ballot in 2026.

Applications for absentee or early-voting ballots can be obtained at Village Hall, 258 Main St., or nelsonvilleny.gov. They are due by March 11. Ballots must be received by Election Day to be counted. 

At its Tuesday (Feb. 18) meeting, the Village Board also appointed Donna Steltz to the Zoning Board of Appeals, succeeding Judy Meyer. The other members of the board are William Rice, Harold Akselrad, Steve Merando and Steven Rummel.

One reply on “Two Candidates Seek Nelsonville Seats”

  1. There is something wonderful about Nelsonville’s elections in that each candidate must be nominated by an independent party. They cannot run as Democrats, Republicans or independents. As a result, we are able to mostly avoid the shenanigans that sometimes accompany elections involving the big parties. Our elections are about neighbors voting for neighbors — what a relief and a blessing.
