It’s election day. Try to stifle the yawns.

No, there is not a real grabber race out there. No historic presidential faceoff such as the election of Barack Obama that captivated us this time last year.

Instead this is what is called the off-year municipal election.

In Delaware County, the ballot is highlighted by a race for two seats on Delaware County Council, as well as a new position on the county Court of Common Pleas.

Stop yawning.

Voters also will elect representatives to their municipal government and school boards.

Go ahead and snicker. But it’s likely these people have a bigger effect on your everyday life than many other votes you cast.

And remember, you forfeit your right to complain if you don’t take the time to exercise your basic civic rights.

Look on the bright side. It means an end to those incessant ads for the New Jersey gubernatorial race.

By the way, what does spending all that money get you? Apparently a dead heat. It’s going to be a long night in the Garden State.
