Why your voice matters.

• Voting is one of the many privileges of living in a democratic society. Your vote gives power to the people who spend your tax money, and helps ensure that money is used in a responsible and efficient way.

• Elected officials respond to neighborhoods and communities where more people are registered to vote. People under 18 and non-citizens can’t vote. Your vote impacts their future as well. 

• Laws at the federal, state and local levels affect taxes, health and public safety, education, recreation, economic development and more. 

• Low turnout means that important local issues are determined by a limited group of voters, making a single vote even more statistically meaningful.
