When election season arrives in Sandy Springs, many focus on high-profile races like the Presidential election. But in Sandy Springs, it’s the state and county elections that directly impact our daily lives. From public safety and transportation to healthcare and housing policies, state leaders shape the future of our community.
Our recent community survey highlights this reality. We asked residents about their voting plans for both Presidential and state elections. The results show strong civic engagement, but they also remind us of the need to emphasize the importance of our county and state elections.
Key Findings
We surveyed over 750 Sandy Springs residents about their intentions for the upcoming election:
- 97.8% said they are “very likely” to vote.
- 94.6% plan to vote for both Presidential and down-ballot candidates, reflecting an understanding of the importance of county and state governance.
- 1.8% plan to vote only in the Presidential race, while 1.3% remain unsure.
Why State and County Elections Matter
Our state officials make decisions that directly affect our quality of life. Whether determining economic and education policy, building infrastructure and roads or election administration, these leaders shape our neighborhoods and communities. Voting in down-ballot races ensures your voice is heard on issues important to you and your family.
