Voting Tips

Voting is a fundamental right and a vital means of making your voice heard. It is not just about picking leaders; it also shapes laws that impact day-to-day existence. Voting ensures that your priorities are represented and helps to shape the future of your community. Participation in this process is essential because every vote matters.

How to vote: 

1. Register to vote:

  • Registering to vote is a crucial part of voting. You should go to your state’s official election website or Vote.org to check if your registration is current.

2. Where to vote and how:

  • If you are voting by mail, make sure you know your state’s deadlines for mail-in ballots. If you are voting in person, locate your polling place and its hours. Your local election office can provide this information.

3. What you need to bring:

  • The one thing that is required to vote is your ID card. You need to contact your polling location and make sure if there are any other necessary documents needed.

4. Research the Candidates:

  • Be sure to decide whom you would like to vote for. You can go to nonpartisan websites that can provide you with unbiased information on the candidates. Reliable resources such as The Associated Press and AllSides provide reliable and unbiased information about candidates to ensure that everyone is well-informed. Voters are also allowed to bring a phone to search for any laws that they feel unsure of. 

5. Vote:

  • If you are voting in person, go to your polling location on election day or during early voting hours. If you are voting by mail, follow all the instructions carefully and return your ballot by the deadline.

To sum up, voting is an effective instrument for accountability and change. Your vote matters because it shapes the future of the country, whether it be in local or national elections. Vote and use your right to influence change.
