Why Voting Is Important
Voting is a formal indication of choices between two or
more candidates. It’s also a responsibility, not a
requirement. I always hear them say, if you don’t vote
someone else will do it for you and it might be against your
choices. It’s like you don’t have a right to complain. Voting
is not just supporting an idea. It’s about supporting a
peaceful solution to the way a country is governed. I don’t
think most people realize what an amazing thing it is that
we can give power or we can take it away. We can limit
authority or enlarge it. We must have a say in this because
we know that too much power can absolutely corrupt a
person or a group of people.


Elections bring a lot of important issues out. If you’re
watching all the debates you will be able to judge who did a
good or a bad job or which of the candidates can do the job
well with your plan. At the least, you can compare them.
Before you vote you’re supposed to be informed of the
characteristics of the candidates to help you determine how
they will perform in office. At least the candidate must be
honest, moral, skillful, and willing to work hard
representing you. Hopefully you choose the right one who
can make decisions for your future and all the other citizens,
too.
