The Power of Your Vote

Henryetta, like many small towns across America, often sees low voter turnout in local elections. However, these elections are some of the most directly impactful on daily life—determining city budgets, infrastructure projects, local business support, public safety, and other key policies. Every vote counts, and elections can be won or lost by just a handful of votes!

By attending or watching this debate, residents can make informed decisions about the future of Henryetta. Local elections shape the quality of life in our town more than any national election ever could.

Encouraging a Higher Voter Turnout

To boost participation, community members and organizations can help spread the word by:

• Sharing debate details on social media and encouraging others to tune in.
• Discussing the election with friends and family—many people don’t vote simply because they forget or don’t know where to go.
• Reminding people of their polling locations and ensuring they are aware of the voting process.
• Encouraging first-time voters—whether young adults or newly registered residents—to get involved.

Local Business Support

This event would not be possible without the generous sponsorship of local businesses from Henryetta and Okmulgee, who understand that a well-informed electorate strengthens the entire community.
