![For several government and politics educators around the U.S., an election season represents a key time to educate their students through tangible examples. In the case of Advanced Placement (AP) Comparative Government teacher Carolyn Galloway, this opportunity not only excites her but fervently aligns with her zeal for democratic processes. Through her personal and professional experiences with voting and government, Galloway encourages her students — both those who can vote and those who can not — to enter into elections informed about any topics on the ballot. “[Voting] impacts your government, especially on the local level, because not a lot of people vote on the local level. Who you vote for, how you vote, and whether or not you understand what you are voting for impact everything from who your tax commissioner is, to who your president is, to what ballot measures pass. All of those impact the way the government works for you,” Galloway said.](https://nchschant.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/galloway-photo-2-1200x900.png)
