Make your vote count

We are on the final lap with the finish line in sight.

Tuesday, Nov. 6 is the General Election and we urge everyone to get out and cast your vote. This edition of the Thermopolis Independent Record includes our election section, filled with a good deal of information to help you make your decision next week when you head to the polls.

This election season has been an interesting one with plenty of candidates tossing their hats in the ring, wanting to help make things better for our community, our state and our country.

At the Independent Record we’ve done our very best to bring you all of the information about the candidates in a thoughtful and concise manner over the last eight months and that has meant a lot of long nights at meetings and notes piled everywhere on our desks.

But that is what we are here for, to ensure you can make the choices that are best for you and your family when it comes to picking who will represent you.

As Americans we have an opportunity to voice our opinions in the polls, something denied citizens of some countries. It is especially important for those in small communities to make their voice heard as these are the people in charge of everything from the price of your water and which roads are paved to property taxes, courts, law enforcement and everything in between.

The polls will open at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, closing at 7 p.m. and all of the information you need to find your particular polling place can be found on the county’s website.
