Elections play a big role in how our local communities work and feel. Here’s how they make a difference:
Representation: When people vote, it helps determine who represents them. In some local elections, only 20% of eligible voters showed up. When more people vote, communities get better representation.
Budget Choices: Elections also decide where money goes in the community. Local governments usually spend 75% of their budgets on important things like education and public safety, based on the leaders that are elected.
Changes in Policies: Elections can lead to new rules about things like housing, healthcare, and public services. These changes can really affect how good life is in a community.
