Hey! Don’t forget the Special Election on February 11th. You see your ballot on your kitchen table? Or did you leave it in your bag? Wherever it is, find it, fill it out and turn it in. If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “gosh I wish I could have a say in things” well folks, local politics is your chance.
Don’t let the presidential election be the only time you submit your ballot every four years. Last special election, only 26% of registered voters even voted. That’s abysmal!
I’m not looking for this post to be about what you’re voting for - we can make a separate post - but I want this to be about getting you and others to vote at all. If you’ve ever complained about this city, how about you do something about it? How about you be an involved citizen?

Or print a new one if you can’t find it!
Go to “your ballot and voting materials”, then scroll down to “get a replacement ballot.”

Curious why these issues weren’t on the November ballot three months ago? Elections are expensive. Are there always elections in odd years? (Like CC in Nov ‘23) We just moved back.

So excited I voted twice! (only kidding, don’t report me). Actually, I didn’t vote at all (before you bite, I’m Canadian and don’t have citizenship yet).
Anyways, everyone please get out and vote if you’re eligible and you haven’t already.
