That would be the mayor of the town you live in.\n\nDon't mind the ignorant answers you have gotten thus far. You have chosen to come to our country and become a legal American citizen the "right" way. That's a good thing!!! :)

I most definitely do. The decisions that are made on the your local level are the ones, most of the time, that have the most affect on a person. Additonally, the local politicians are easier to make contact with if you have concerns and questions.

To get your name on any ballot, you just need to go to the agency behind that office.  If its Mayor you would go to your cities offices.  If its Govenor, you would go to the state offices.  And by the way, misspelling the word 'the' is not a stupid mistake, its one caused by typing too fast.

Democrat Brad Henry is currently the governor.  We do have an election tomorrow.  It's between him and Rep. Istook.  Hopefully, Brad Henry will be reelected.

Kind of. It's kind of random how they select people. But as long as you are registered to vote, you should be chosen within every 7-10 years. (I just got summoned actually, I need to report in July). But when you do get summoned, some ways to help you a little bit is when asked if you would take a cops word over the accused's word just because he's a cop, say no. Because you shouldn't assume the cop is telling the truth just because he's a cop. Also don't say anything that might make you seem more biased against any particular race, religion or anything like that. Answer the ballot the way you think they would want you to.\n\nMy mom did jury duty a couple months ago. She originally didn't want to do it but got chosen anyway. She ended up really enjoying it. I want to do it too, but I'm a little nervouse about taking the bus to Norristown (about an hr from my house) by myself at 7:00 in the morning...\n\nGood luck though! I know you'll probably enjoy it. It's kind of exciting and you learn a lot of legal stuff. Like my mom knows such much about Identity Fraud now because that's what her case was about. Enjoy!

There are National and Local officials in the Philippines. The president, vice-president, senators and cabinet members (i.e. secreatary of national defense, secretary of agriculture, secretary of health and so on...) are included in the national officials while Mayors, vice mayors, congressmen, governors an councilors are samples of local officials. Hope this helps. Good luck on your homework!

Local laws vary state to state and county to county.  You will have to ask about a specific state and county, or check with your county and state government officials.

What state are you in?

Our current mayor has not demonstrate the ability to support the people in our community let alone have the wherewithal to do so for the entire State.  However, I am supporting our district’s Congressional representative for governor this election.\n\nI must admit to being astounded that anyone would not know who their mayor is.  I also admit that my county is small in population (just over 128,000) but I know the mayors of its nine cities and most of the council members as well as knowing the members of the county board of supervisors and many on the township boards of trustees.  I know them not just as names but as friends and neighbors within the community. \n\nIn the communities I've lived in over the years in different States I have always got to know the elected officials.  How can you vote if you don't know them.

depends on your state.\nIn my state, it is the "secretary of state"
