All of you being honored here today value the future of our commonwealth and our nation. Enough to show up to vote every single time.''We have far too many people in this country that feel like we have elections every four years, but we don't. We have elections every year, and every year those elections matter. And so, it's certainly just amazing that we have the opportunity to celebrate people that have been committed to that process,' Sen. Chris Gebhard said. Four residents were also recognized for voting in 70 or more consecutive elections.
