We have a special election to fill the vacant Ward 8 Council seat underway and we've got you covered on everything you need to vote to have a successful voting experience. We've launched the #Ward8Votes campaign to help residents develop a plan for voting. We are also encouraging voters to share stories and videos telling us why they vote. Tag us and we will share across all of our platforms. See you on the hashtag #Ward8Votes.
