Schwab pointed out that while 2025 will have fewer elections, local elections will still take place, stressing the importance of staying engaged. This includes updating voter registration information and volunteering as a poll worker for municipal elections.
“These elections shape the leaders of our communities and influence our daily lives. Don’t wait four more years to get involved again,” Schwab said.
