Of any election, these city elections are probably the races your vote counts the most.

With mayors and city council seats on the ballot, voter turnout is historically only in the hundreds.

Races are decide by tens of votes.

In 2005, Kingsley's current mayor beat out the incumbent by a mere six votes. The final tally was 174-168.

In Remsen that year, a mere 13 votes kept an incumbent city councilman from losing his seat.

In Hinton, a write-in campaign at the polls pulled two city council seats from the incumbents.

In Westfield, the mayor won by a 22-vote margin, and the city council race was within nine votes.

And in Struble that year, one man was elected to the city council by five votes.

You have the chance to impact an election on Tuesday, Nov. 6. Vote.

And if you don't, then don't complain to me about the results.
