Help Election<br />

Day go smoothly<br />

Election Day gives voters throughout<br />

the United States a chance to participate<br />

in their government. The right to vote is<br />

something to cherish, as many people<br />

across the globe do not get a chance to elect<br />

the officials who govern their countries.<br />

While Election Day is an exciting time,<br />

voters may find it frustrating if they do not<br />

take steps to ensure things go smoothly<br />

when they head to the polls. The following<br />

tips can help voters prepare for Election<br />

Day.<br />

•Confirm your polling location.<br />

•Bring photo identification.<br />

•Confirm registration.<br />

•Be familiar with the candidates and<br />

issues on the ballot.<br />

Voting on Election Day is a privilege<br />

that voters should not take lightly. Taking<br />

certain steps in the weeks ahead of<br />

Election Day can make it easier for voters<br />

to cast their ballots.<br />

Keep Mayor Stage<br />

working for Grove City<br />

The community support I have received during the years as Mayor has<br />

been truly appreciated and humbling. Once again I’m asking for your support<br />

to re-elect me <strong>November</strong> 5th. This will allow me to assist in the further<br />

improvement of our now regionally recognized full-service safe community.<br />

Our recent successes, accomplished together, include two new hospitals,<br />

a new state of the art library, an increase of over 5,000 jobs, and an increase<br />

in green space to nearly 1,000 acres, with no new city taxes. We have truly<br />

been blessed.<br />

Many of our foundational obligations I promise will be maintained<br />

including upholding our strong financial position through a conservative<br />

fiscal policy. We will continue to strengthen our efforts to seek employers<br />

offering competitive wages, upscale restaurants and continued improvements<br />

in our infrastructure. Also, I promise to stay engaged with the Mid-<br />

Ohio Regional Planning Commission.<br />

I would appreciate your vote. Mayor Ike Stage<br />
