The Daily Herald
With Spring Hill s election just days away, the Ward 3 is the only opposed race, drawing three candidates, each with a vision to tackle growth, road improvements and plans to lead the city into a prosperous four years.
The race includes ― incumbent Kevin Gavigan, as well as newcomers Brent Murray and Angela Privett.

As of Tuesday morning, only 851 have voted, or about 3.8%
In 2017, the numbers reflected a voter turnout of only 7.72%. The numbers were even lower two years later, with 2019 s election drawing just 5.67%.
Maury County Election Commission Administrator Todd Baxter said local elections, especially with the numbers reflected over the years, have historically shown low voter turnouts. He believes this could stem from citizens likely not engaging enough in city issues, or they might not consider local elections to be as important as the national and state elections. It seems to be a typical city election. For some reason, people just don t seem to care much about the local elections, Baxter said.
