Here are the results of the Elmont Fire District Commissioner Election for your information. Congratulations to all who ran and to Mr. Frank Hrbek, Jr. for his election as EFD Commissioner. Voter participation in these important but obscure elections can be helped if elections are held on days that are consistent. Community residents should consider the merits of consolidating local elections like Fire, Water and Sanitation District elections.
| Candidate | Votes |
| Frank Hrbek, Jr. | 329 |
| Pedro Vera, Jr. | 179 |
| Philmon Kempadoo | 52 |
| Frank Lozada | 8 |
| Total Votes | 568 |
Elections can get us closer to democratic ideals if they are held on the same day as either the November general elections or in May during the School Budget Vote.
In addition, for those who believe American democracy is in intensive care, this may be a way to breathe some life back into the idea and ideals of the concept. If reviving democracy is too lofty or idealistic, then,it may be that unnecessary government spending and ballooning property taxes must be controlled. In that case ask yourself what was the cost per vote for a Fire, Water, or Sanitation Districts election?
What are your thoughts?
