Voting begins in Gotham City elections – Harvey Dent looking strong.
The digital revolution is touching every part of our lives. This year, it’s even turned Gotham politics upside down. Thousands of Gotham citizens – in the city and outside – are taking advantage of a new law allowing online voting.
“We had to do something to deal with the question of absentee voters,” said City Councilwoman Manya Alarnian. “And we believe that permitting secure, tamper-proof voting online will broaden the pool of voters and raise Gotham voter turnout which had hit rock-bottom in recent years.”
And voters seem to be responding. The Gotham Election Board reports that interest in the online voting has skyrocketed in recent weeks. A spokesman said that the office has been flooded with voters from all over the world that want to remain connected to Gotham politics.
“This is great news,” said prospective voter Regina Filleps, a longtime Gotham citizen who can’t make it back to the city on election day. “I am working outside of Gotham for a little while because I couldn’t find a good job in the city, but I still want to help improve the standard of living there by making my voice heard. After all, I grew up in Farrow!”
GEB staffmember Edmund Schnii visited the Gotham Retirement Villa to help ensure that their decreased-mobility residents wouldn’t be counted out on election day. “These people aren’t too old to vote,” said Schnii. “They just need a little push in the right direction.”
The voting includes a number of propositions which need to be decided ranging from infrastructure projects for the Narrows through to pay rises for the Gotham Police Department, currently struggling under a crime wave and the appearance of the Dark Knight vigilante – The Batman.
The full selection fo options and choices are as follows:
Propositions:
Proposition A: $750 million bond measure to build new schools and libraries throughout Gotham.
Proposition B: Orders Gotham City to begin mandatory sick pay and pregnancy leave for all government employees.
Proposition C: Requires landlords to provide $5,000 for all evicted tenants.
Proposition D: Requires Gotham Police Department to make arrest and conviction of vigilantes its “lowest priority”.
