With early voting in full swing and Election Day still more than three weeks away, campaign season is far from over. How have you been feeling about this year's local elections?

I learned a lot because candidates are discussing real issues.

I haven’t been following the election closely.

I’m tired of the campaigning and drama.

I tune out the noise until Election Day.

I don’t vote in local elections.
