Content: While the excitement of national politics often takes center stage, local government and its impact on civic quality of life cannot be underestimated. Volunteering and voting in local elections ensures you have a say in your community, and in your local government services, such as emergency services or local utilities. Local elections can have a big impact on your wallet when financial decisions like budgets or tax cuts are on the ballot. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/9f\/Win-a-Local-Election-Step-12-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Win-a-Local-Election-Step-12-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/9\/9f\/Win-a-Local-Election-Step-12-Version-2.jpg\/aid4716890-v4-728px-Win-a-Local-Election-Step-12-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
