How To Get Involved In Local Government
VOTE
Voters wait in lines to vote for the President, but yet don't take the time to vote for local officials whose decisions are also important and could hit closer to home. 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
