This is for US elections, of course.

Yes, I did.

Vote yes if you are planning to vote (but you can change your answer, as well)

other answer, and you can write in the answer, if course

Although you can vote "yes" if you voted in your country's most recent election(s).

Are there any states that don't hold an election or a ballot measure, respectively, today?

I don't know, but it's a good question. I wonder also about Puerto Rico, all things considered.

Illinois only has school board elections today and I don't feel quite right about voting in school board elections when I don't have any kids in school.

No. Odd year elections in my State are exclusively local and I have no election today to vote in.

How come? Education is a public good and it has an effect on what the people in your area will know in the future.

Agreeing with Siren, where I live a house valued at $100,000. will pay approximately $2,500 a year in school taxes compared to about $350. in county taxes.

Considering how much of a tax burden schools place on homeowners, everyone should care who serves and how they spend your money.

The only election where I live is County Port Commissioner and I don't particularly care which Chamber of Commerce member wins.

Y'know what, these are really good points; I hadn't quite thought of it that way.

I apologize if my comment came off as perhaps not caring about the direction of public education nearby. Instead, it's more that I don't really have the knowledge to know if my current board reps are performing their duties well enough for me to endorse the current direction. And to me, that knowledge and forming an opinion on strategic direction comes easier when one has kids in a school district.

Anyways, it can't hurt to try to read up on some of the issues and form enough of an opinion to cast a vote.

Thanks, both of you.
