While towns across Monroe County had candidates on the ballot, several of them were facing the prospect of a change in the balance of power.
One of the highest-profile races was for Greece supervisor. Incumbent Republican Bill Reilich couldn't run again due to term limits, and Democratic candidate Jeff McCann squared off against Republican candidate Bill Murphy.
Greece has long been a Republican stronghold, though Democrats have a slight enrollment advantage. Unaffiliated voters in the town rival the numbers of either party, coming in just ahead of the GOP and just behind Democrats.
Perinton and Penfield have long been under Republican control, but in recent years, Democrats have made inroads. This year, both towns face highly competitive races for town supervisor and town board and could flip Democratic.
In historically Republican Pittsford, Democrats already held the majority of Town Board seats and were trying to flip the supervisor’s seat.
Below, we'll post the unofficial results for all of the town and village races across the county as we get them. If you don't see the race you are looking for, check back regularly as the tallies flow in throughout the night.

But Penders, who was the incumbent, recently resigned his seat and has agreed not to seek or accept judicial office in the future to resolve a state Commission on Judicial Conduct investigation of a complaint against him. Typically, the Town Board would appoint a justice to fill the vacancy, but given the election it was not immediately clear how that might work. Town officials said Monday they are not answering questions on his resignation right now.
