Why Voting In The Primary Election Matters
We are rapidly approaching Primary Election Day on May 7. Hoosiers, ensure you have a plan in place to vote!
Local primary elections are critical as they have a direct influence on decisions that impact our daily lives, from education to public safety, transportation, and zoning. These elections are your chance to select leaders who prioritize the issues most important to you and who bring necessary expertise for informed decision-making.
Additionally, these elections help determine the community’s political landscape, signaling which political parties or ideologies have strong support and identifying candidates who resonate with independent voters. The outcomes can greatly influence the general election and ultimately the direction of our community.
By participating, you also engage more deeply in civic responsibilities. Learning about candidates and key issues makes you a more informed and active member of your community, increasing participation in local governance and fostering a stronger connection to where you live.
Local primaries are your opportunity to have a say in shaping the future of your community. Every eligible voter should exercise their right to vote, playing a crucial role in the democratic process.
Allen County residents can find their polling locations and hours at allencountyinvoters.gov. All Hoosiers can check their voter registration, locate polling places, and review sample ballots at IndianaVoters.com.
