While presidential elections dominate national headlines, it’s local officials who oversee tax dollars, shape policies, and influence everything from infrastructure to public safety. Yet, fewer than half of voters are engaging in the selection of their local representatives! Your vote carries more influence than you may realize. Understanding the importance of local elections is key to ensuring that your voice is heard in decisions that directly affect your community.

Spokane County Elections staff and the League of Women Voters offer an insightful discussion on why every vote matters, who makes the decisions that shape your community, and where to find resources that you needed to make informed voting choices. Bring your questions and civic curiosity for an engaging conversation.
