🗳️ Montgomery County 2024 General Election Resources 🗳️
Rabbi Yitzchak taught that “A ruler is not to be appointed unless the community is consulted.”
— Babylonian Talmud Berachot 55a
We need leaders who will represent all of us, and who are accountable to the whole community. That’s why we vote, and why we take seriously Rabbi Yitzchak’s teaching that community input is essential for choosing who will lead our County. Every vote matters!
In 2024, in addition to the Presidential and Congressional races, there are three Board of Education races on your ballot. The Board of Education races are critical because our local elected officials decide how we spend our money, how we protect our community’s most vulnerable members, and whether our region’s actions will dismantle systemic oppression or reinforce the status quo.
Everyone in Montgomery County can vote for candidates in all three Montgomery County Board of Education races no matter where you live. We encourage you to click through the dropdown menu below to learn more about the candidates and to make sure you have everything you need to vote by November 5.
If you have any questions about the resources on this page, please email Laura.
The top two candidates from each district’s Primary elections move on to the General. Because all County voters can vote for candidates in all of the Board of Education races, we highly recommend you learn more about all of the candidates running!
