Voter Turnout
Summary
Lubbock County is seeing its lowest early voting numbers in over a decade, which means the few people who do show up are basically deciding the future for everyone else. If you want a say in how our city is run, your vote actually carries way more weight right now than it usually does.

Impact analysis
Low turnout can lead to policies that don't reflect the community's needs, potentially wasting tax dollars on projects that most residents don't actually want.
The small group of people who actually show up to vote get to steer the ship for the entire county.
The entire community loses out when a small minority makes decisions for everyone else, leading to a government that isn't truly representative.
