Incumbent Cynthia C. Young won another term as Malta supervisor on Nov. 3, beating Republican Timothy Moseman 4,124 to 3,543 in Saratoga County’s unofficial results. Young, a Democrat, has represented Malta on the county Board of Supervisors since at least 2024, according to county records.
Young ran only on the Democratic line, according to the county’s ballot certification. The county’s election night report does not print the party for single-line candidates, so PagPol confirmed it from the certified ballot. Moseman held the Republican, Conservative and Vote Affordable lines.

Cynthia C. Young beat Timothy Moseman, 4,124 to 3,543. Write-ins: 7. Left blank: 87. Overvotes: 3.
The county has not said how many absentee, military and affidavit ballots remain, but the 581-vote margin is not expected to change. The county plans to certify its results later in November after the canvass is complete.
HOW THE VOTE BROKE DOWN
Young’s 4,124 votes came on one line. Moseman’s total combined 3,028 Republican votes and 515 Conservative votes, while the Vote Affordable line recorded none. Even with both lines, Moseman finished 581 votes short. Voters cast seven write-ins, and 87 ballots left the race blank.
Malta voters also approved a town proposition raising Malta’s yearly contribution to the Round Lake Library by $121,000, to $460,000, by 4,463 to 2,325. The county report labels that question the Village of Round Lake proposition, but the certified ballot lists it as a Town of Malta measure.

The Malta supervisor casts 17,130 of the board’s 235,509 weighted votes, according to the county’s weighted-vote schedule. That is the sixth-largest share among the 23 seats, behind Halfmoon, the two Clifton Park seats, Milton and Wilton.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Young’s new term begins Jan. 1, 2027. Malta voters also elected Town Clerk Jennifer Holmes, Highway Superintendent Brian G. Cline and Receiver of Taxes Nancy Fodera DeLeonardis, all unopposed. The county board, led this year by Phil Barrett, will choose a chairman in January.
