Ronald Reagan said it best: “Voting is a precious right that for two centuries Americans have fought and died to protect. Let’s all honor that sacrifice this election day.” Don’t forget to vote. The next election in Livingston will be Tuesday, April 7. Please check with Christina Christianson if you have any questions about voting or what’s on the ballot. Sample ballots are posted in the Village Office windows. You may email the Village Clerk at vilofliv@yousq.net. You may also visit My Vote. WI.gov to find your voter registration status and view a sample ballot.
