This November, Chapel Hill and Carrboro are holding municipal elections for Town Council and Board of Aldermen respectively. In a college town like Chapel Hill, it can be easy to get wrapped up in campus life and not stay engaged in local politics. Staff writer Maryam Mohamed asked students, "Are you planning on voting this November and why?"
