The purpose of this Article is to comply with Article 15, § 15-126

a run-off election in the event that more eligible persons remaining

an equal number of votes in any general or special village election.
A.
In the event that more eligible persons than the number remaining
to be elected receive, for the same office or offices of the village,
an equal number of votes, the Board of Trustees shall adopt a resolution
stating the date and place and hours of the special run-off election,
the names and addresses of the candidates involved in the run-off
and the office and terms nominated for. Said resolution shall include
a statement that the run-off election is for those village offices
for which a tie vote was received in the previous general or special
election and is limited to only the number of offices remaining unfilled
as a result of the tie vote and include only those candidates that
received the equal number of votes for the same office. In addition,
such resolution shall direct the Village Clerk to publish the same
at least 10 days prior to the election date.
B.
The date for the special run-off election shall be held on a Tuesday
at least 10 days after the final certification of such tie results.
C.
The special run-off election as provided for herein shall be waived
and the selection made by lot as provided for by Article 15, § 15-126
of the Election Law of the State of New York, as may be amended from
time to time, if each person who shall have received such equal number
of votes shall have filed with the Village Clerk, no later than two
days after such final certification of such tie vote, a written notice
of consent that such selection be made by lot.
