Since AP U.S. Government and Politics, I have always been interested in our democracy and participating in the civic process. When I turned 18, I was excited to register to vote and could not wait to vote in the next election. Voting is your ticket to participate in the democratic process, pick the candidates of your choice and support the issues that matter most to you. 

With voter suppression laws and tactics sweeping the nation, we cannot afford to let our voice be silenced or diminished. To make sure your voice is heard for this upcoming election, use the resources below and share.
