Poll: Yes, you want a say on Nov. 8

Would you take 71 percent turnout in the Nov. 8 local elections?

We sure would, especially when you consider that two years ago, only 22.76 percent of registered Kootenai County voters exercised that right.

Asked in the latest cdapress.com poll, 'Will you vote in your city's elections this fall?', voters overwhelmingly said they would.

• 417 (71 percent) said 'Yes, it's too important to miss'

• 122 (21 percent) said 'No, why bother?'

• 44 (8 percent) said they were undecided.
