Register to Vote!
If you're not registered to vote, you are missing out on a great national privilege and a significant personal freedom. Voting in a local, state, or national election is an exciting opportunity provided by democratic nations to their citizens.
There are many good reasons to vote, including the following:
- Casting a vote allows an individual to express a choice among candidates who wish to become government leaders.
- Voting provides a medium for citizens to support the democratic structure.
- Supporting the electoral process helps to reinforce your regional government.
- Showing up at the poll on voting day sets a good example to others. Remember, your children observe all that you do and will learn from your example, right or wrong as it may be. Civic awareness is an important part of their training and one of the early steps on the road to maturity
- Finally, taking time to vote reflects pride in your nation and its government.
If you are not currently registered to vote, call or stop in at the Avenue City Elementary School office to get signed up. It only takes a few minutes, and even that step is likely to get noticed by those who are watching.
