Did you know that in our last Mayoral election, only 12% of registered voters in Houston actually participated in voting? With that low of a voter turnout, how can that low of voter turnout reflect the ideals of Houstonians as a whole?
Early voting has already begun, continuing through Friday, November 3, and Election Day is Tuesday, November 7. Are you ready, Houston? If not or if you are feeling a little unprepared, you definitely need to listen to this episode as Lauren Dougherty from the League of Women Voters of Houston shares some incredible resources that will help you make your vote count!
Be sure to use the Voters Guide to get a more simplified breakdown of candidates, policies & propositions, etc that you are voting on for our beautiful city!
The Voters Guide is available to view or download in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Chinese, and it can also be accessed as an ebook/audiobook through the Libby app and as an album in SoundCloud.
