The local elections are being held in Xavier’s town next Tuesday. Xavier is unsure whether or not he will vote. He does not want
to read up on the candidates, and he does not care who is mayor. What advice would you give Xavier to help him understand how important it is to be a responsible citizen and vote in local elections? A. All laws are made at the state level, so Xavier is right not to be too concerned with local or city elections.
B. Xavier should not vote because he believes his ideas will win even if he doesn’t participate.
C. It is important to show your patriotism by voting even if you do not know anything about the candidates.
D. Local lawmakers can affect many aspects of Xavier’s life, from the taxes he pays on his house to where he can park his car.
Since Xavier doesn't want to vote, it would be a good idea to mention him how the local elections can affect him on his daily activities, such as the taxes he will have to pay or the places he can use and how he must use them; this way Xavier would feel more involved into the elections process and he might be convinced to vote.
