Every time you make a choice, you can say you voted! But sometimes voting is more than just making a decision. When your class votes for a class pet, the votes may decide a different pet than what you wanted. What can you do to help your side win? Let people know what you think, work with others who have your same ideas, and talk to people who want something different, maybe you can change their mind. When you are 18, you can vote in an election, you can help choose your leaders! There are even things you can do now to make a difference.

It's a major election year! Mark Shulman's voting primer is a great guide to what it's all about. Full of positive ideas and ways to get involved, it emphasizes that every election is important, even if it is for student government or the class pet. Not political, it includes further descriptions at the end about the US Government system and resources for further information.
