        Don’t Forget to Vote!

        by NicoleNovember 6, 2017

        Tuesday, November 7 is Election Day

        In an election, every voice is equally powerful—don't underestimate your vote. Voting is the great equalizer.

        - Maya Angelou

        Lift Every Voice

        The 2017 United States elections will be held on Tuesday, November 7, 2017. Local elections will take place in thousands of communities on November 7 and affect many important aspects of our communities, including our schools, police, and infrastructure.

        Turnout for local elections can be low, with many voices not being heard. With just a day to go, we want to encourage everyone to Get Out The Vote in their communities. Let's reverse the trend of low turnout in local elections!

        Don't Miss Out!

        If you can't remember where to vote, no problem! You can easily find your polling place, opens a new window or check your registration status, opens a new window online. You can also visit one of our community libraries where library staff will assist you in finding where you can vote.
