This Oct. 15, we鈥檒l choose our mayors, civic councils, and school boards in 91原创, both City and Township.

For the next four years, those folks will have a significant influence over development, roads, policing, fire departments, property taxes, recreation services, and trash and recycling pickup.

Yet the number of people who turn out to vote for them remains very low. In 91原创 City back in 2014, it was 26.7 per cent, and it generally hovers somewhere between that number and about a third. In a really big year in 91原创, one full of strife, we might hit 40 per cent of the electorate turning up.

So, do you plan to buck the trend and vote this fall?
