The dreaded 2016 Presidential Election is looming over our head, and our vote is more critical than it has ever been. Just because neither Presidential candidate tickles your fancy, doesn’t give you an excuse not to vote! There isn’t just a President on the ballot. Local elections are just as important and a higher voter turnout makes our democracy more representative. And if you just can’t stand to choose between either major presidential candidate, even a vote for a third party can have an impact!
