As a 20-year old, this is my first presidential election and I have never been more excited to exercise my right to vote. Over the last three and a half years, I have seen qualities that I do not want the next president to have. Over the last few months, I have paid very close attention to the possible candidates and I can’t wait to effect change. These are 5 reasons that voting is important.
1. Every vote counts.
Â
2. Voters 18 and older are the most diverse group.
Â
3. Voting is your voice.
Â
4. Voting Is an opportunity for change.
