Hello, Magic Quarter! With voting season just around the corner, and nominations going on right now, it's useful to have a reminder to what resources you can use to find out what candidates you want. When voting, remember to consider the following:

1. You can refer to old minutes from previous council meetings to determine what current candidates are like. From these, you can tell their activity and how often they attend, which is useful. You can also see all previous votes and each council members decisions, which is useful for choosing a candidate that best represents you. A list of previous meetings can be found here.

2. Remember to vote for an active candidate. There's no point in voting in the most positive and best representative candidate of you if they're on once a week, for 30 minutes that day, and can't be on to represent you! If they can't be on that often, they wouldn't be able to last our usually 2-3 hour meetings, cut in half often by events going on in the town of Dong Dank.

3. For newer candidates whom you can't quite look at minutes for to determine what they might support, ask them directly, and hang around them. Ask those who know them. They're more likely to put on a front if they suspect it has to do with elections, so make sure to be near when they're acting natural. Just learning who your representatives really are can help when voting.

4. Remember, vote! There's no point in griping about how horrible our council is if you don't even vote. The best way to make change is to vote and show who you support; if you do this, you've already helped our district.
