Election season is upon us. Early voting began yesterday in Georgia.

Whether it is your first or 10th time voting, there are social or economic issues that weigh heavily on the decision to cast a vote for president as Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris seeks to defeat Republican former President Donald Trump.

Political leaders from both sides of the aisle argue a lot is at stake in this year’s general election on Nov. 5: democracy, economic security, immigration issues, global diplomacy and more.

But for some, climate change, environmental issues and policies that seek to decarbonize the planet and embrace climate resiliency are the most important issues in 2024.

The Ledger-Enquirer wants to know, will environmental issues and climate change bring you to the polls?

Please fill out our simple and short survey here to let us know, or send it to someone you think might be interested in speaking about this issue. The form will remain open until 6 p.m Sunday.
