During the recent meeting of the Olivette City Council, a significant focus was placed on the upcoming presidential election and the resources available to voters. Council members discussed the importance of utilizing technology to enhance the voting experience, highlighting a new app that helps voters find their polling locations and check wait times.

The app, which has been refined over the past five years, is designed to assist voters on election day by providing real-time information about polling sites. Council members encouraged residents to take advantage of this tool, especially since City Hall in 5 Oaks will not serve as an early voting location. Instead, voters can cast their ballots on election day at various sites, including the evangelical church at the corner.

Additionally, the council noted an increase in inquiries about early voting, indicating a growing engagement among residents. This uptick in interest suggests that more community members are taking proactive steps to ensure their participation in the electoral process.

As the election approaches, the city council emphasized the importance of being informed and prepared, encouraging residents to utilize available resources to make their voting experience as smooth as possible. The discussions underscored a commitment to facilitating civic engagement and ensuring that every voice is heard in the upcoming election.
