How to Vote and Why You Should
Your vote matters now more than ever. Every time we cast a ballot, we contribute to the decisions that shape our country’s future. When people choose not to vote, they leave that power in the hands of others, often a small, less representative group of the population. This weakens democracy and allows extreme viewpoints or unchallenged rhetoric to dictate policy and leadership.
By not voting or believing in the misleading messages that say your vote doesn’t count, you risk losing your voice. In reality, many elections are decided by razor-thin margins, and every vote has the potential to tip the balance. Democracy thrives on participation. When more people are involved, the government better reflects the will of the people. When fewer people vote, that diversity and representation are lost, and we edge closer to a government that doesn’t reflect the needs or desires of the majority.
Voting is the most direct way to influence the issues that matter most to you—whether it's healthcare, education, climate action, or civil rights. When we fail to vote, we give up our say in those critical decisions. Every vote builds toward a healthier, more vibrant democracy.
