Election Turnout
Summary
Charlotte's upcoming primary election is bracing for low turnout, meaning the few people who actually vote will have a massive say in who runs our local government. If you sit this one out, you're letting a tiny crowd make big decisions for the whole city.

Impact analysis
While voting itself is free, the low turnout means a small group of voters will decide how millions in local tax dollars get spent.
The folks who actually show up to the polls get way more political power than usual because their votes aren't being diluted.
No groups negatively affected
