Why the smallest elections decide the most

Turnout for school board and city council races often falls below 20 percent. Yet those offices decide what your street looks like, what your children learn and how your rubbish is collected.

National races dominate the news, but local offices handle the services people use every day. A few hundred votes can decide a school board seat, and that seat can decide a district’s budget for four years.

A simple habit

Before each local election, find the three races on your ballot you know least about. Read one candidate questionnaire for each. It takes about twenty minutes.

Our non-partisan voter guides collect those questionnaires in one place, in six languages, and are published four weeks before every election.
