Early voters cast their ballots at Levittown Hall in Hicksville last weekend.

The last chance to vote in Long Island's local elections and one statewide proposition is on Election Day, as early voting ends on Sunday.
- Over 110 electable positions are available.
- At least 25 of those races are uncontested, mostly in Suffolk County and for judgeships.
- Important positions such as county district attorney, sheriff, Southold and East Hampton supervisors, and Babylon Town Council are uncontested.
That's a shame and a detriment to democracy.
