Vote

​

Vote in every election: Our vote is our power. Support good leaders who seek progress on the issues you care about.

​​

Research candidates and issues: Most election services allow you to see your ballot before voting. Research your choices. Keep an open mind as you consider the options. 

​

Support the right to vote: Dictators don't want people to have a voice in the decisions that impact all of our lives.  Support legitimate democratic constitutional republics. Voting should be easy and accountable.
