The Importance of Local Elections
Dozens of towns across New Hampshire are holding town elections and traditional meetings today.
Businesses play a significant role in the local voting process and Town Meeting Day. Unlike national elections, local elections directly impact everyday life, influencing decisions on schools, infrastructure, zoning regulations, and public services. Businesses are stakeholders in the communities where they operate, and the outcomes of local elections directly impact their operations, growth opportunities, and regulatory environment.
Businesses can encourage voter participation and civic engagement among their employees by providing time off to vote. By fostering a culture of civic responsibility within their organizations, businesses can contribute to higher voter turnout and increased community involvement on Town Meeting Day and beyond.
