local election

A local election is a process where residents in a specific area, like a city or county, vote to choose their leaders and determine how local government services are run. These elections can include choosing mayors, city council members, school board officials, and other local officials. They help communities decide on policies and priorities that directly affect daily life, such as education, safety, transportation, and public services. Local elections are an essential part of democratic participation, giving residents a voice in shaping their immediate environment and ensuring government actions reflect community needs.
