Tuesday, November 7 is Election Day in Waterbury. Local elections are notorious for low voter turnout. The public is constantly bombarded with national politics, while it takes a bit of effort to keep up with local politics.
Election experts anticipate only about 10-12,000 people will vote in Waterbury next week, in a city of 110,000 people and roughly 60,000 registered voters. Barely one-sixth of the voters are expected to show up to vote.
I've prepared the following guide for anyone who's not sure what's going on with this election, who the candidates are, or where to go to vote.
If you care about where you live, please take the time to learn about the candidates and vote on Tuesday.
