Why People are signing this petition
Holding elections in school buildings complicates an already challenging school calendar and makes it more difficult for parents to vote on election day. We have other venues, which can accommodate polling places on Tuesdays with less disruption to their core missions, like churches. — Montclair Resident.
It is extremely hard to find childcare on election days, and I have an FT job — Montclair Resident.
The school year ends way too late. We need to remove unnecessary days off. — Montclair Resident.
