Local elections are coming up: why your vote matters
Voting for our local, state, and national representation has always been an important tradition in American life. Presidential elections by far get the most attention and highest voter turnout, in the 2020 national election the NC voter turnout had around a 75% turnout and the 2021 municipal election had a 15% turnout.

In terms of affordable housing, municipal governments have some powerful tools at their disposal.
