Get to know your local governing boards and representatives:
The Village of Ballston Spa is part of two towns: The Town of Ballston (South of East High St) and the Town of Milton (North of East High St).
The Village has its own local governing boards and both towns have their own local governing boards. Check out the maps here to find out what local government body your residence falls under:
As of January 2025, there is very limited Democratic representation at the local level in the Village of Ballston Spa, the Town of Milton and the Town of Ballston, despite the fact that Democratic voters make up a sizable part of this area of Saratoga County, NY.
Get to know your local elected officials and get involved! Attend the next board meeting for your village and or town and speak up! See if these representatives truly represent you and if not, let them know with your public comment and involvement! Democracy is not a spectator sport; decisions are made by those who show up!
