Do you know what your municipality is responsible for? Why should we vote? And how do municipal elections actually work?

[#EducateYourself] Election day can get noisy with rumours, fake stories, and things meant to make you second-guess yourself.

If you spot something suspicious online or offline, flag it on Real411.

Let's demand political campaigns that unite, not divide.
