Why do we Vote?

Every Vote Counts

Why do we Vote? > 4 of 5
Voting is one of the most important rights and responsibilities that U.S. citizens have, but many people do not register to vote. Other people are registered to vote, but choose not to go to the polls and cast their vote.

Why is it so important? Because EVERY VOTE COUNTS!

Throughout U.S. history, important events have been decided by just a few votes.

For example, John F. Kennedy would not have been elected president if one person at each voting precinct had voted differently.

If you don�t vote, you are allowing others to make choices for you and you won�t have a say in the outcome.
