Vote Local! The Importance of the march 19 primary

With the essential nature of our democracy at stake, it may seem that our attention to local and regional candidates is less urgent than our concern for major offices.
However, nothing could be further from the truth. Democracy has always been a ground up initiative. It is our local, state and congressional representatives who have the prodigious responsibility of advocating for us in government. These elections have real consequences. They pertain to our quality of life.  Education. Infrastructure. Housing. Transportation.
           For these reasons it's critical that we take the time to vote in the March 19 primary.  Yes, you'll be selecting your choice for the Democratic candidate for President.  But you'll also be selecting candidates for several Medina County offices, as well as candidates for the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, Ohio House and Senate candidates, and your Party's Central Committee Members .  Local issues feature prominently as well, including several property tax measures.
          Voter turn out is crucial to fair and representative elections.  To find out more about the candidates and issues that affect you, visit:  www.medinadems.org/our-candidates--issues.html 
           So mark it on your calendar!  Tuesday, March 19 - 2024 Primary Elections.
           Note that, beginning February 21, you can vote at the Medina County Board of Elections, 3800 Stonegate Drive. This includes the two Saturdays and the Sunday before election day.

           Or, mail in your absentee ballot, which must be postmarked by March 18 and received by March 23.  This can also be dropped off at the Board of Elections no later than 7:30 PM on election day.
