Reasons Why You SHOULD Vote
Voting is a way to speak your mind and let your voice be heard! Your vote is your voice. When we vote, we are actually telling elected officials and lawmakers how we feel about education, public safety, social security, health care and other important issues.
One voice, one vote really does count!
Remember: there is power in numbers, and when we vote and get our family members to
vote, we can truly make a difference. If you don’t vote for what you believe in, others
will—and you may not like the outcome.
Our children are depending on us to represent their voices too!
Because our children can’t vote, we have to do it for them. That’s how we make our
concerns about schools, safety, housing and other issues heard. When we vote, we are
looking out for our kids and their futures.
Voting changes communities!
Do you ever wonder why one neighborhood gets passed over for things it needs, while
another seems to get it all? One big reason is voting. When we vote, we can get results
that we can actually see.
Vote to effect change!
It was through elections that we voted in officials who were champions for civil rights.
Voting is our chance to make a difference in our own lives and within the world.
Believe it or not, voting is a way of honoring our history!
As long as our country has existed, there have been people who didn’t want us to vote.
There were several freedom fighters that stood up for the right to vote. Well, those
times may seem ancient, but there are still people today who don’t want us to vote.
It’s now our turn to stand up and vote to preserve the honor of those who went before
us.
Last but not least, it gives you credibility!
Oftentimes, we voice our concerns to elected officials, but if we aren’t voting, our
concerns may not matter at all to them. Voting can actually give you the credibility
to make your concerns a top priority for legislators.
