Soph's Soapbox: Celebrities should advocate for local elections
In 2024, celebrities and influencers encouraged people to vote in local elections. However, the upcoming election has not been promoted.
As Election Day approaches, local candidates and issues are in the news. Decisions on tax dollars and trustee candidates are important to locals.
Local elections usually see smaller voter turnout due to a lack of promotion. In 2024, 63.7% of voters voted in the Presidential Election, the second-highest turnout in the last century.
Celebrities and influencers encouraged young voters to exercise their civic duty in the last election, but in 2025, there has been less social media interaction.
Now, there seems to be a large gap in voting advocacy, and with election day just a week away, this is a large concern for local elections.
Celebrity endorsements help people pay attention to what is on the ballot.
Author's summary: Celebrities should promote local elections to increase voter turnout.
