IF YOU DON’T VOTE, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN.

Dad’s advice? Maybe not. But it’s a pretty memorable reminder that having a voice means showing up!

With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, it’s worth paying attention to issues that can affect our homes and communities.

Housing affordability
Property taxes and local budgets
Zoning and housing development
Homeownership and property rights

These issues can shape the places we live and the opportunities available to future homeowners. The National Association of REALTORS® is also examining the election landscape and housing issues in its latest Advocacy Scoop podcast.

You don’t have to agree with your neighbors about every issue. But taking time to learn about the candidates, understand the questions on the ballot, and make your voice heard is part of being an engaged citizen.

Get informed. Make a plan. Participate.

And remember to check official election resources for registration details, voting deadlines, and polling information.
