Why is it important to vote in local elections? While federal elections are important, the people representing us in local elections make decisions that affect us every day. They set tax rates that support public safety, including law enforcement and fire departments, roads, water systems, pass local laws, and work on economic development, just to name a few. You may think your one vote doesn’t count, I can assure you — your vote counts!
And voting is so easy! You can vote by mail where your ballot is sent to your home three weeks before election day; you can Vote Early starting two weeks before election day and ending the Friday before; or you can go to any polling location on election day.
