| What strikes me is how many just voted on the budget. Over 800 votes and the average BOE was 600 of 3 unopposed seats. So 200 never even opted to select a BOE member. I really think April elections should be moved to November. |

If they don't know the candidates maybe they decided it was more appropriate / responsible not to vote them up or down, especially knowing it would not change the outcome anyway. In many respects this is better than them blindly voting for people. |

| Agreed, that is what I did. I thought it was irresponsible to vote for candidates I did not know about, plus all three candidates for three seats seemed a fait a compli anyway. I was more concerned about the budget, that's why I voted. |
