Yes, your vote matters. Fewer young people vote so your views are under represented. (I assume you’re young if this your third opportunity). It’s free. Have you looked up the necessary steps? It varies by state

Yes. Registering to vote is a lot more than just the Presidential race.

There is a lot more that will affect your day to day life “down ballot”. The House of Representatives are up for a vote, as are Senators in two thirds of the States, along with local offices.

And in states like California, there are a lot of propositions. In California we get to vote on the death penalty, marijuana, drug prices, and taxes on the very wealthy.

Your vote matters. And if you don’t vote, you don’t get to complain.

Yes. As @zenvelo points out, it’s way more than just presidential. Voting on local issues is very important as well. A few years ago, in my town, a few things were decided by a few votes, things important to my community. Have a voice, so many in the world don’t get one.

And sometimes there are cookies at my polls. :-)

@zenvelo you make a strong case. I do like complaining…

@canidmajor cookies? I’m sold!

Yeah, I think you should. I think protest votes from people who are disillusioned is exactly what’s needed.

Your vote matters. Yes, register to vote.

Do it & vote for Trump, g’wan make my election day

Rick and I started dating the last year Bush was elected, in 02, so the famous 06 election was our first go round in politics as a couple. Due to the unique candidate we really got into it. We watched Rachael Maddow all the time.
At one point, in the middle of a debate between him and I, I said, “Are you even registered to vote?”
He said, “Well, no.”
I said, “Then why are we even having this discussion?!” and I shut it down. Refused to talk politics until he got registered. Refused.
So he quickly got himself registered to vote so we could argue some more.

He was pretty damn proud of himself on election day, when he went to the polls for the first time and voted.

I find it odd that he’d never been registered. He came from close the same generation I did, and listened to all the protests and demands that the voting age be lowered to 18—“We’re old enough to be sent to Vietnam and to die for our country, but we can’t vote on who is going to send us there? BULLSHIT!!”—, and “we” won that victory. It was hard earned. It is the 26th Amendment to the Constitution.

I got registered the day I turned 18.

Sure. It’s a privilege and your right to vote.

Absolutely. Then if Trump wins at least your conscience is clear.

Where do you live? No matter what your vote counts at a local level. Regarding the presidential election, depending on your state, your vote might be crucial. No matter what it does matter. Even if there is no way your guy can win it really matters. You need the official counts in the history books, because close calls can really alter future elections.

If you know who you like best go vote for them. If you never pay attention to politics and have no idea who’s who then maybe don’t bother. I think if you register and start voting you’ll get more interested. It’s like a chicken and egg thing.

Keep in mind you can just vote for one office, you don’t have to answer everything asked on the ballot.

Check with your county, it might be too late for you to register to vote in this election.

Yes you should register and then you should vote in all elections and primaries and pay special attention to your local and state candidates and also the judges and local referendums on the ballot. Those are the things you can vote for that will have a more immediate and meaningful impact on your life.

@JLeslie The election is over 30 days away. You can register today in any State in time for the election. Some have a cut off of this Saturday, some go up to election day.

@zenvelo I didn’t check your link, but I’m glad you found it for the OP. I called the county I’m moving to last week to double check I wouldn’t have a problem. I probably would have stayed noncompliant and not changed my driver’s license if it would have been a problem, but it’s not a problem so no big deal.
