Tomorrow, Nov. 7, is Election Day. The city is voting for who sits on the City Council. Voter turnout can be low for these elections which means your vote can really make an impact.
Some of the city's wards were redistricted for this election. Not everyone got shifted around, but use this handy-dandy tool that will confirm your polling place and your ward.
Here is our collection of candidate interviews and forums broken down by wards.
