Voting on Tuesday, the Old-Fashioned Way
People live in large and small home communities, not in partisan categories.

This Election Day, people are best off pushing aside the popular cliche that 2025 is an "off year." Local elections are on the ballot across Long Island and those elected will be responsible for directly delivering local services and managing the infrastructure, future plans and character of hundreds of distinct jurisdictions.
In the American day-to-day, town councils and county legislative majorities and supervisors' offices are more consistently relevant to citizens than are the White House and Congress.
The candidates and issues such as taxes or new housing are right here in your non-virtual experience.
Kudos to the voters who still participate knowing that not all ballot entries are real choices.
Author's summary: Voting in local elections matters greatly.
