Don’t Sit This One Out: Local Elections Shape Your Community — Vote June 9
Vote June 9: Local Elections Shape Daily Life
Getty Images
Older voters decide elections at the national, state and local level—and local races can have the most immediate impact. On June 9, North Dakotans will choose the mayors, city and county commissioners, and school and park board members who help shape everyday priorities like property taxes, public safety, street maintenance, and the programs and services in our communities.
Voting in the primary is one of the most direct ways to drive action on the issues you care about—and in local elections, a relatively small number of votes can make a big difference. Make your plan now: learn when, where and how to vote at aarp.org/vote.
