an opportunity to serve and you, the people should use our vote to elect individuals you are comfortable with and conduct research on them to hold them accountable for their responsibilities as elected representatives. To vote is to make your voice be heard, to be a part of the economic growth of your state, and city and it shows the unity and power of the community. Voters should make sure others are registered to vote. Before you vote, do your research on the candidates, spread the word to encourage others to vote and you go vote! This is our opportunity as Americans to come out in numbers to make a difference, which therefore will put a lot of pressure on the elected officials to make a difference. It’s great to be a registered voter, now vote.

Your voice does make the difference. As well as you choosing not to vote! Why can’t you understand your vote will affect the future of your city, state, and nation? The choice is yours! Voting does matter!

Should everyone have the right to vote? Americans need to understand the power of voting. Voting allows people to speak. Voting is easy and only takes a minimum amount of your time. This process is necessary for everyone, because it is allowing you to be equal with the option to vote. Despite how many arguments, debates or ads that are shared with society about the feelings towards the issue or person, at the end of the day your choice can be solidified by voting for or against a matter. Do you take voting seriously?
