In the last local election, fewer than 64% of registered voters in Youngstown cast a ballot. That means only a fraction of our community decided the outcome of key issues like school funding, local safety initiatives, and city development projects.

When we show up to vote, we ensure that every neighborhood’s voice is heard — not just a few. Whether you’re passionate about jobs, education, housing, or public safety, your vote is your power.

Local elections decide schools, streets, public safety, jobs, and housing. When turnout is low, a small slice of the city makes the decisions for everyone.Local elections decide schools, streets, public safety, jobs, and housing.
