The Benefits of Voting
Active civic engagement, including voting, contributes to the health and economic vitality of local communities....
Despite local elections having huge impacts on government services, turnout is historically low. This trend is seen across the nation, with less than a third of registered Ohio voters participating in the 2017 election. Similarly, in Texas in 2019 only 12% of voters turned out to vote. As more Americans get vaccinated and after a contentious 2020 battle, what will 2021 turnout look like?
