I don't really see what the major issue is about local elections in Centre County ("Weigh in on local issues by voting today," Nov. 4). How many students are even in town for more than four years? Many students come from branch campuses and spend less than three years in town. Even students that come to State College as freshmen won't see any changes if they happen to even be registered to vote in Centre County. I don't think it is a big deal for students to vote. But if you are a resident, voting will help you.
