Another issue with ANCs, these historic boards and HOAs is that they are not truly democratic. Yes, they are voted for, but because turn out is usually very low, the legitimacy of these elections can be questioned. Unsurprisingly, I tend to find that such organizations tend to do very little to increase voter turn out.

Democracy is supposed to represent the people. All the people. Not only those who care to show up.
