While citizens do not vote for a president during the midterm elections, it is still important to vote for a representative and have a voice on key local issues.
Usually, fewer citizens vote during midterm elections than presidential elections. That means that people who do vote in midterm elections have more influence on the result. In recent years, turnout for midterm elections has increased. Many races this year are expected to be very close. Every vote will matter. Midterm elections are also a chance for voters to decide on local leaders and have a say in local issues. This November is another chance for voters to make their voices heard.
