Summary

The ability to vote allows citizens to say their opinion and choice on
a variety of issues. In the American political system, voting allows
registered citizens to cast their choice for the political leader that
they believe can accurately make the choices that will better the
country. However, there are thousands upon thousands of individuals
who have the ability to vote, and yet do not. Discussed below are the
key reasons why voting is important.

America is a democracy “of the people, by the people and for the
people.” Therefore, it is important that all of us vote on Nov. 6.
Right now in the country one party controls both the executive and
legislative branches of government. The result is that mainly ideas
acceptable to one party are most likely to be enacted. America is
better off with dialogue and compromise.

Voting is the cornerstone of a democracy but sadly far too few people
vote. There remains wide gaps between those who do vote which
undermines representative democracy. For the past three decades voters
have been disproportionately of higher income, older or more partisan
in their interests. Parallel to participation gaps are widening gaps
in wealth, reduced opportunity for youth and frustration with the
polarization in politics. How would our world be different if everyone
participated?

Much of this gap is due to communities left uninformed about
elections. There are large gaps in who gets contacted in an election
campaign. Millions of Americans, especially those served by the
nonprofit sector, report not being reached by traditional campaign
tactics like a phone bank.
