Voters, return for city, school elections

Having worked at the most recent election, my question is,“Will all those people who voted in the general election find their way back to the polling place when there's a city or school board election?”
Turnout on Nov. 2 was good. Our precinct had 774 voters plus all the absentee ballots. That is actually great, compared with the 20-some voters we had for a school board election and not many more for the last city election.
Your tax dollars are paying the wages for election officials to sit all day with nothing to do at these elections. Please: Do some research at election time and get out to vote at all elections!
