Taking Stock of Fire Elections

Area residents will choose fire commissioners Tuesday. Is there a way to improve turnout?

On Tuesday, there will be elections for area local fire commissioners. 

The races in both Wantagh and Seaford are uncontested, with only incumbents on the ballot.

Polls in Seaford will be open from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Voting will take place in Wantagh between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Turnout is traditionally light in these elections and we want to know what you think about that. Do you have any ideas about generating more interest? Do you vote in these elections? If so, how often? What issues are important to you? Let us know in the comment section below.
