VOTE WEEK: April 7–15
Spring has sprung, and all the seeds of planning from the past fall and winter will come to fruition in ballot form. This is where you come in. You vote. You get to pick FIVE projects that you want to see come to be in your community. Also, the voting pool for this is broader than other elections: anyone who is at least 11 years old can vote. Plus you have a whole week of opportunities to vote: April 7–15
The winning projects will be funded by at least $1M of discretionary funds in the public budget for each district.
