Vote Informed!
Not everyone is using their right to vote in elections. This website will tell you more about this issue and how you can help resolve this ongoing problem.
What is the problem?
During the presidential election that takes place every 4 years, a large percentage of people who are registered to vote do not do so.
According to the United States Census Bureau, in 2016, "61.4 % of the citizen voting-age population reported voting".
Why does this matter?
By voting, a person is better able to stay connected with their community through volunteering and stay involved in discussions regarding public policy.
Nonprofit Vote notes that "Voting is associated with better health outcomes, cohesive communities, more effective advocacy".
What can you do?
•Making sure you and people you know are registered to vote •Stay informed on candidate platforms •Most importantly, voting on Election Day!
Don't forget to vote in the midterm elections that take place every 2 years as well! These are important for Senate and House of Representatives.
