Wasting your vote

In many elections, voters get multiple votes to select more than one candidate for a single race. This is true in the 2025 Worthington City Council race, where you get up to four votes to choose from seven candidates.

But you don’t have to vote for four candidates. In fact, voting for four candidates is likely harmful to the top one or two candidates you prefer.

It is better to find the top one or two people you want to represent you – based on specific policy issues you care about – than to vote for your favorite two AND an additional two candidates you might not agree with as much. Those additional votes can mathematically prevent your favorites from winning.

Don’t waste your vote. Vote ONLY for the candidate(s) you really.
