local election
City council race
A local election is a vote for offices at the municipal, county, or regional level rather than state or national positions.
These elections typically choose mayors, city council members, school board representatives, sheriffs, and judges.
Local elections often have lower voter turnout than national races despite directly affecting everyday services like schools, policing, and zoning: Local elections determine who fixes your potholes.
