  • We had a primary vote yesterday. Three city districts had primaries for councilperson, and several other area towns had city elections. There were 91,000 eligible voters within those various districts. Granted, we had another 5-7" of snow overnight, Monday. It was difficult, but not impossible to get to the polls sometime within the 13 hour window that began at 6 in the morning and ended at 7 at night.

    4.69% of elgible voters turned out to vote.

    Democracy works best when citizens actively particpate. Voting is part of active participation, especially when it is incovenient.
