Are you currently registered to vote? If you have moved recently or have just reached voting age, make sure you are registered for the upcoming U.S. primary elections usually held in September.
Why is it important to vote? The people that you let in by default, because you haven't bothered to vote, may or may not be looking out for your best interest. Your local, state and national representatives make decisions about schools, parks, city planning, transportation, college tuition, the environment, homeland security and national defense so they affect all of our lives. They decide how your tax money is being spent. It has never been easier to be a registered voter. Some states will allow nearly anyone to be an absentee voter so all you need to do is fill out your ballot and mail it off by the deadline.
Feel like you don't know enough about the issues? Voter Guides are sent out which explain the pros and cons of each issue and give you biographical information of the candidates. It helps you make informed decisions on how you cast your votes.
Here are some places where you can register to vote online. If you are not registered, do it today so you can vote in the next election.
