Good morning and Happy Monday!

Tomorrow is ELECTIN DAY!! Those of you who are registered to vote - enjoy your first election! If you are not yet registered to vote, tag along with someone who is! Don’t forget the important ballot question about removing English as Allentown’s official language - more information about that HERE. Remember - the ballot will only say “Shall Paragraph B of Section 101 of the City of Allentown Home Rule Charter be removed from the Charter?” A vote of “yes” will remove the part of the Charter that makes English the official language of Allentown. A “no” vote means English remains the official language of Allentown city government.

Today we will continue our study of voter turnout with Milestone 3, by looking at historic elections and how events can impact whether people vote. At the end of Milestone 3 we will be examining voting behavior in Allentown.

Please open Milestone 3 Stepping Stone 1 (task dashboard) and wait for me to begin.
