Even if you went to a polling location and only voted for one person, it will be counted. By law your vote has to be counted. Your ballot cannot be skipped or ignored otherwise it is unconstitutional. Sometimes elections can come down to a small number of votes which greatly affects how your city, state, and nation are run. Your vote counts, vote! Here some important ways voting directly affect you: It's Your Right. People have died defending this right. Don't take it for granted! Not voting is giving up your voice. Elections are decided by the people who go out and vote. Take some time and learn about the measures and the candidates. If you don't vote, someone else will make the decision for you. Your power is in your vote. The Amount of Money Allocated Your Region. This money can be used for education, youth programs, healthcare, veterans, creating jobs, the environment, etc. How Your Taxes Will Be Spent. Take an active role and find out if your candidate shares your views and will spend your money wisely. Your Healthcare. Your vote grants the governor, legislators, and Congress the right to take action and pass or reject laws that will determine your access to health care. Social Security. - Elected officials decide how much payroll tax is paid, your Medicare services and payments, cost of living increases, and benefit schedules for your Social Security pension. Safety of Your Neighborhood. Elected officials and judges make day to day decisions on laws that will affect your community, law enforcement, crime prevention, traffic patterns, and where to build schools, parks, and recreational places. Improving Your Highways. Take an active role deciding what highways are needed, what public transit to support and how the bill will be paid. Vote to elect people who will do something to fix the problems we face. An opportunity for change. Support the candidates and ballot measures that can help your community, state, and even the nation for the greater good. Make your voice heard in these elections. Communities are made up of friends, loved ones, and neighbors. Some may not know how important voting is, while others don't have the privilege. Make the decision to vote for yourself and those around you. Make sure your voice is heard - vote! (Source: Excerpts from https://actnow.org)
