Dear Friends,
Today is Election Day. It’s time for our community to vote!
You hear this every year, but this is an important election. The results affect majorities on both the Board of Education and Assembly which, in turn, will alter the direction that both bodies take for years to come. There are stark differences between many on the ballot, and those differences matter.
As every single candidate, the Daily News Miner, and many citizens have been saying for weeks and months: it’s important that you use your voice today.
If you’ve already voted, or have a voting plan in place, then I challenge you to text (or call) 5 friends and make sure they get to the polls.
Historically, our voting turnout is abysmal. These candidates have worked too hard to have a low turnout this year.
Polls will be open for 13 hours today, from 7am to 8pm. You can find more information about how and where to vote here.
Thank you for doing your civic duty, and I encourage you to become not just a voter, but a voting activist today: make sure that your friends and family vote, too!
