Why Should I Vote? The privilege of an American Citizen to vote is the right that defines our democracy. By exercising this fundamental right, we protect all the other rights of our constitution. The vote is an expression of equality, neither wealth nor fame or power can make one person’s vote count more than another person’s vote. Yet many potential voters say “my vote doesn’t count and it doesn’t directly effect their lives”. Others say that they don’t vote because only those with money can effect government. Still others say that they do not have the time nor the resources to be informed about all of the candidates or the issues and besides their one vote will not make a difference. There are many other reasons given by Mississippians for not voting, yet every vote counts. Voting is the way to tell politicians and government officials what is important to us. It is all about our taxes, our jobs, our neighborhoods, our health insurance, our children’s education, our justice system. It’s about you, your family and your neighbors. The members of congress and judges we elect influence all aspects of our lives. Excerpted from League of Women Voters material |
