Carbondale City Council candidate Ginger Rye Sanders speaks during the Get Out the Vote Rally at the Eurma Hayes Community Center in Carbondale, Ill. April 3, 2021. The rally was held to help raise awareness for the upcoming general election in Carbondale and to encourage people from a low voter turnout area to get to the polls on Tuesday. “We’re encouraging the people to be part of the process,” Sanders said. “Be part of the political process because your vote does matter. We should be involved in what’s going on in Carbondale and we should use the voice that has been given to us through the vote, to vote and to be a part of this democratic process that we have here in Carbondale.”
