Johnson County Auditor’s Office Why Should You Vote? Local government directly affects the everyday lives of students more than any other governmental body. It decides parking rates and ticket fines, which businesses can come to town, housing and rent regulations, public safety measures, parks and recreational services, police force size, the bar entrance age, and much, much more. In the last Iowa City Council election in 2003, only 668 students voted. That’s only 2% of the student population! If students exercise their right to vote, we could have an enormous impact on the makeup of the next city council and the decisions that they make. Registration To qualify, you must have:
