Ever since I was 18 years old, I have been registered to vote.Ā In my opinion, it is very important to participate in this part of American government since it ultimately shapes different aspects of society.Ā That being said, I have always voted via absentee ballot.
Today was a different story.Ā We stopped at the local library where I found out they were my designated polling place so, I decided to take some time toĀ cast my vote.Ā It was a great experience!Ā TheĀ poll workers were friendly and helpful during the process.
I am not a political person but, to me, it is so important that people go out and vote because not every country is as lucky as we are.Ā I once worked with some people who thought that because they have a disability, no one would really care about what they had to say, and that their vote would not make a difference.Ā Everyone, and IĀ do mean everyone, can make a difference and has a say in how this country is run.Ā The only way to have a say in how this country is run thoughĀ is to get out there and vote.
There is a procedure on how to request an absentee ballot, if that is what you need to help you exercise your rights.Ā I even know that my local poll workers receive disability sensitivity training to help those with disabilities when they go to the polling places to vote.
No matter who you vote for, the important thing is that you vote so that your voice can be heard.Ā Everyone can make a difference.
What has your experience been when it comes to voting?
Thanks for reading..
