“I do. You kind of lessen the chances for corruption in terms of these positions because corruption can basically be in any position of authority, like judges for example. That’s why I do believe that yes, there needs to be voting in local elections for these positions.”

Abdulrahman Al-ajeel, freshman, electrical engineering, Kuwait

“I think voting in local elections is important, just so you know the policies in place in the area that you live in. It all kind of trickles down to you. If you don’t really know about it, then you don’t really know what’s effecting you and what’s not.”

Tyler Cuckovich, economics, junior, Oxford, MI

“I think it’s very important, because that’s where you see the most change in your daily life. When it comes to national elections and state elections, you don’t really see that change, but when it comes to local elections, you see that change.”

Dan Smith, accounting, sophomore, Rochester, MI

“I definitely think that voting is important. I feel like our voice needs to be heard. That’s a really big thing for me, is being heard, and I feel like voting is our chance to do that.”
