BALLOT QUESTIONS PANEL DEBATE
Voting is a fundamental right and a cornerstone of our republic. It's essential to be informed about the issues on the ballot, as these decisions can have significant impacts on various aspects of public life. Seeking out diverse perspectives and understanding the implications of each question can lead to a more educated vote. Ultimately, the choice lies in the hands of each voter, reflecting their values and beliefs for the future they wish to shape.
Don't miss the opportunity to hear different point of views about the 3 (THREE) questions on the ballot BEFORE casting your vote.
At the end of the day, it's YOUR decision how to vote but it's our intention to help you to make an EDUCATED one.
