Rochester Public Schools elections are coming soon. There will be three RPS school board seats on the November 5 general election ballot. If more than two people apply for a seat, a primary election will be held on August 13 to narrow the ballot for the general election to no more than two candidates per seat. To apply for the school board, you must file an affidavit of candidacy at the City Clerk's Office at Rochester City Hall, 201 4th Street SE. The filing period begins on May 21 and ends at 5 p.m. on June 4. The filing fee is $2. Please note that RPS staff at the Edison Administration Building are not processing school board applications in 2024. The City of Rochester has partnered with the school district again to take applications for the RPS school board. However, school board candidates will file campaign finance reports with the RPS Office of Administration by delivering them to Room 121 of the Edison Administration Building or by emailing them to jocarlson@rochesterschools.org. All campaign finance reports will be posted publicly on the RPS website under RPS Reports after they are received.

WE DO NOT NEED MORE POLITICS IN OUR SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS! Do you agree? Amendment 1 will make schoolboard races partisan meaning it will introduce the political party of each candidate into the race. This will cause people to vote for the candidate's party, NOT for the candidate's ability to improve our schools. Also, Florida is a closed Primary state. If school board elections become partisan, No Party Affiliate voters and independent voters will not have a say in choosing who runs for their child's school board. All parents should have representation regardless of Party. For these two important reasons, the Lee County Democratic Party is recommending for you to vote 'No' on Amendment 1. https://lnkd.in/dBypKHfg

Local government tends to stay out of local elections, and for good reason – but that doesn't necessarily mean we should stay completely out of the public conversation. Objectivity is important in local government. As an organization, you are limited in what you can say in the midst of an election campaign. But as Municipal Communicators, we should be raising the bar for election discourse through thoughtful and effective communications. ✅ Increase understanding of what local government actually does. You'd be amazed at how few residents understand the scope of local government versus that of other orders. Local election candidates talking about how they're going to bring a new hospital or school to town aren't helping. At the same time, it's also valuable for the average resident to better understand the areas in which local government operates, so they can make a more informed decision on the municipality's direction moving forward. Make sure residents and candidates, alike, are informed about the role of local government and what falls within municipal jurisdiction. ✅ Teach the public what Council can – and cannot – do. Similarly, many people are under-informed on the powers held by local elected officials. Candidates saying they're going to singlehandedly "drain the swamp" and fire staff do nothing to raise the level of public discourse. But, again, it helps residents to vote from an informed standpoint when they simply better understand the role of municipal governance and how it plays into their lives. ❌ It's not our job to dive into the debate, or to talk about candidates, platforms, or promises. It is our job, however, to raise the bar in terms of knowledge surrounding our municipality, local government operations, Council governance, and other like areas of pertinence throughout silly season. If all municipalities move in that same direction together, the general understanding of these issues will grow faster than if each municipality tries to tackle these topics on their own. Together, we can do more 🙌 #localgovernment #localgov #municipalcommunications #CAMC

🗳️✨ Understanding the importance of primaries goes beyond just selecting candidates; it's about shaping the nature of US politics! Primaries are elections held before the general election where voters choose their preferred candidate to represent them in the general election. When you think of elections, you likely think of the November elections, leaving the importance of primary elections in the dust. Yet, primaries hold the key to competitive races and impactful representation. Take Texas, for instance, where the majority of congressional and legislative races have already been decided by the time November rolls around. This stems from the strategic redrawing of political maps during redistricting cycles. Because of redistricting, most contests are decided during the primary. The solution? Young people showing up and voting for candidates that represent them during the primaries. In the 2022 elections, a staggering 83% of the U.S. House was elected by just 8% of Americans. Not only do young Americans deserve better from our representatives, we can demand more! Take the first step and Vote Early or on your State's Primary Election Day.

Chief Executive Officer Jason Jackman, CFA weighs in on the economic impact of elections in Ohio, noting that although the primary elections don’t significantly impact the state economy, the reverse is likely to be true for the general election. Given the competitive general election races in the state this fall, particularly the senatorial race, there is an opportunity for significant outside money to flow into the state.

I am happy to announce the release of a detailed follow-up report aimed at addressing significant concerns surrounding the November 2023 election in Northampton County. My new comprehensive report includes background on the issues, examinations into the problems, key takeaways and an overview of where election administration in Pennsylvania stands now. As a representative for Northampton County, I was extremely disappointed that election administration problems continued to occur. In December 2023, I issued a report to look further into the problems and assess how to respond. This report is a follow-up to the December 2023 report and includes: • Background on the issues in Northampton County. • Information from informal examinations into the problems. • Examination takeaways. • Election administration in Pennsylvania - Where are we now? With not just Pennsylvania, but also the nation, being only months away from a major election, now more than ever it is important to continue to address and learn about the proper administration of elections: past, present and future. I have compiled this report to highlight the true impact of issues with the administration of elections in Northampton County. I encourage each of you to review it by visiting my website, RepAnnFlood.com

Early voting is happening (again) this week! This is the second election in May for most Dallas residents. In early May, we voted in the Bond Election, ISD Trustee, and Dallas College Trustee elections. This week is early voting for partisan primary run-off elections for county, state, and federal races. It’s a lot for most residents to track, and our voter turnout numbers in all these elections are dismal. If you think we have too many elections AND want to save the City some money, join me in support of moving municipal elections from May of odd-numbered years to November of odd-numbered years. November elections historically have higher turnout, and we’d save the City approximately $500,000 by having the election overlap with the already planned Constitutional Amendment elections in odd-year Novembers. The Chamber, League of Women Voters of Dallas, and many other civic groups support this, as do many individual residents. Let me know if you’d like to support this initiative to increase turnout and save money! #DallasVotes

North Carolina is one of 16 states that holds primary elections on Super Tuesday. Beyond the contest that gets the most attention, there’s a wide range of election choices that affect the people and places of North Carolina – including primaries for our governor, courts, and county boards. In the lead-up to this primary, and ahead of the North Carolina Local News Workshop + North Carolina Open Government Coalition's Summit later this week, I’m asking questions about what it takes to serve everyone’s election information needs across all 100 counties in NC. Questions like: - How do I vote and where, when? - What does the new voter ID law mean for me? - Who's on the ballot? - And most importantly, what does all of this mean for me? North Carolina Local News Lab Fund has shared some examples of great work – like from our grant partners Enlace Latino NC and You Can Vote – organizations who take a local angle to get communities across NC the information we need. Not just for big elections, but for participating in everyday democracy. This work, and more of it, is what’s needed to cut through the nationalized political narratives. The local angle is where organizations can and are working to tell a different story. Tell me: what primary coverage in NC are you boosting?
