Why don’t we vote?

Maybe it comes down to laziness. Or the belief that your vote simply doesn’t count. Or maybe the reasons are more complex.

With a hotly contested election just seven weeks away, The Spokesman-Review is planning a story about why people don’t vote.

We’d like to hear from nonvoters about what has kept them from the polls or from mailing in an absentee ballot in the past and whether they plan to cast a vote in this contentious election.

Please contact staff writer Heather Lalley at (509) 459-5089 or by e-mail at heatherl@spokesman.com by Tuesday.
