WHY DOES MY VOTE MATTER?
Voting is central to our country’s democracy and one of the most fundamental aspects of American citizenship. Voting gives us the opportunity to express our desires for our respective towns, states, as well as our country and formulate a vision of what we would like them to look like in the future. Being civically engaged in our own community increases the likelihood that these systems will work in our favor, public servants will champion issues, promote policies, and embrace ideologies more aligned with the people -- us. If we don’t vote we relinquish our power and our rights, the rights for which our country was founded, and for which, historically, some communities have had to fight for.
