The Impact of Local Elections

On Tuesday area residents will vote in County and town elections. Do they have the impact of national elections?

A year ago we went to the polls and  elected a president and members of congress. There will be another congressional election next year.

Those going to the polls on Tuesday will cast ballots to fill offices in Nassau County and local towns.

These office holders are often the first people area residents call when they need help from government. But do these elections attract the  attention that national elections get?

Do you feel they're as important  to you?  Do you vote in local elections as often as you do national elections? Let us know in the comment section below.
