Let’s Go Vote!
One of the most critical acts of civic responsibility is voting and some of the greatest impact on our day to day lives is made by local elected officials. Four out of seven city council members, including the mayor, are up for election and it’s important that Downtown gets out the vote.
Community Impact has prepared a quick fact sheet on each candidate here and each candidate has posted short videos on the city’s website introducing themselves to voters, here.

Regular voting is from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and a voter must vote in his or her assigned precinct. To find out where you should go vote, click here: http://www.traviscountytax.org/showVoterNameSearch.do
In May 2011, only 7.4% of registered voters came out to vote and downtown turnout was about that average. For the neighborhood that includes city hall, and whose future is shaped significantly by decisions made by City Council, Downtown can do better than average. Go vote!
