Local governments often provide citizens with the most opportunities to vote in elections. This is because local elections are held more frequently than state or federal elections and typically include a variety of positions such as mayors, city council members, school board members, and local initiatives or referendums.
Additionally, because there are numerous local jurisdictions, citizens may have multiple opportunities to participate in different elections throughout a year or cycle, making local government elections the most accessible for voting. State and federal elections, while significant, usually occur less frequently and involve fewer positions.
