I haven't lived in my home country for some time now and I haven't been around election times (and there are no postal votes). As a result, I haven't voted in absolutely years. It feels strange not being part of the political process as such but that's due to circumstances. Otherwise I probably would vote. So do you normally vote?
I usually vote when ever I get a chance as I believe it can be really helpful for the country. I have voted twice and it was quite an wonderful experience. I think it is quite awesome experience.
I'm a voter. I think I missed voting only twice in my lifetime. Once when my car overheated on the freeway and when there was mandatory overtime at work. I really don't understand people who take the right to vote for granted especially since my ancestors and gender were denied the right to vote for a very long time.
I don't know where you are from, but with most countries you can go to their embassy abroad and vote there. I'm in a similar situation, I vote every time when I'm in country but that happens rarely. I've thought about going to an embassy to vote but often that is far away and it's just not worth the time and money in my opinion.
Of course I vote. I've been voting for the past 4 years every election in my country and will do so until I can't anymore.
I always make it a habit to vote even though I know my one vote won't make much of a difference. Even if someone I don't like gets elected into office, I'll at least have the consolation that I at least didn't vote for that person. It's very important that all who can, should vote. That's the only way we can replace bad leaders with fairly good ones.
I don't vote usually because I don't believe in this system, I think it's a huge scam. Sometimes I go there with relatives that vote, but I don't even bother.
Yes, I always vote. I take my right to vote seriously and I'm always informed on the issues. I vote in mid term years and presidential years. Been registered as a Republican since 2004.
@Gelsemium you should vote. Even if you do not believe in the system. Vote for yourself or someone else will vote for you .
I always vote, even if it means choosing a lesser of 2 evils. Too many of the 200 million or so US citizens either don't think their vote will matter, or decide to "stay home" if their preferred candidate doesn't get the nomination or whatever. Elections have consequences. I don't like higher taxes, increased government control over my life, weakened foreign policy, etc. I also make it a point to contribute a little to the campaigns of local politicians I like. Sometimes it pays off.
