Local elections are coming up: why your vote matters
Local elections are coming up: why your vote matters
As voters, it is crucial to understand the importance of local elections – from city council, school trustees, mayors, and school boards – local elections deserve just as much attention and consideration as the presidential race and other federally elected positions. It is our city council members who make decisions about where the money goes and our school boards who allocate more funding to our schools. On average, local elections tend to have a lower turnout when, in fact, some of them may be even more important to our everyday lives. 04/24/2024 23:00
