Content: Sadly, in most cases, local elections have very poor voter turn out- why is this?! Also, be in the know as to how your town government votes on referendums, which are single political questions that are brought forward for a decision. Referendums can be voted on at town meetings, on the ballot of a general election, or brought to ballot on their own. Visit your state's Secretary of the State website for more information on registering to vote and the voting process in your state. BECOME A POLL WORKER
In order for elections to run smoothly and correctly, poll workers are needed. Poll workers verify voters, hand out ballots, tend the machines and pass out stickers, among other duties. I have worked the polls in my town for 10 years and I have never heard (or said) the words “we have too many poll workers”! Poll worker requirements vary by state. Contact your town Registrar or local election office for more information. ATTEND MEETINGS
The best way to find out what's going on in your town or city is to attend meetings!
