SARANAC LAKE — For the Harrietstown Town Council general election on Nov. 5, the candidates have been set, with three running for two seats.

On Thursday, two were given the Democratic nod at that party’s caucus. Deputy Supervisor and Councilman Howard Riley, a Democrat, received the most votes, and Ashley Milne, a Republican who also received the Republican nod, also received enough votes to run on the Democratic line. Councilwoman Patricia Meagher, who received the Republican nod along with Milne, received the third-highest vote total, which was not enough to run as a Democrat. Paul Hermann, a Democratic former Saranac Lake village justice and trustee, received the fourth-highest vote total, also not enough to appear on the ballot.

(Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Meagher received enough votes at the town’s Democratic caucus to run on that party line.)
