Major elections and ballot things that are important to me.
05/09/2012
In politics? No. not important
05/09/2012
Yes, although I majored in political science in college so it's really important to me.

If it's a minor election, where it doesn't really matter, I might skip. For instance if it's a primary and my choice is currently in the office, my vote doesn't make much of a difference. I've considered two mayor races in my town important to vote in because I knew those votes would make a big difference, but a primary where my choice is already in office, not going to make much difference to vote for them.

This is my first year voting, but honestly, I find NOT voting irresponsible. I understand not voting on every little local election, but big state initiatives and the presidential elections are incredibly important. Even if every vote doesn't go directly into a decision like that, what with the electoral college (which is obsolete) and everything, it's showing support for your belief system and demonstrating to your community that you are a valuable asset to said community.

Sometimes I vote
05/09/2012
Only vote for presidential elections.

Very rarely. I think I only have voted a handful of times. I don't keep up on those things (although I should) and when I realize its coming up, I have other stuff going on and can't make it in to vote.

On a "related note", I would like to say that I think most of our govt or politicians are crooked anyways and somehow end up rigging those things one way or another lmao.

05/09/2012
I never have before but it's becoming more evident to me that people such as myself need to be represented at the polls.
05/09/2012
I always vote for Presidential elections and occasionally for congressional seats if I really like a candidate.
05/09/2012

I normally do, but I don't intend on voting this year.
05/11/2012
Always. Just got my Primary ballots in the mail! I love voting.
05/12/2012
I don't vote
05/12/2012
I'll figure out a way to absentee vote. I probably should since this year will be my first election
05/30/2012
I do for major elections, but not for like, the school-board or other local positions. I'd feel guilty voting for someone I know nothing about (other than party affiliation), and there are other things I'd rather do in my free time than follow local politics.

I always vote...sometimes I have to have hubby help me with some of the people but I do go and vote.
05/30/2012
Almost always. Sometimes are local elections get a little one sided and I tend to avoid those.
05/30/2012
I vote, if only to oppose the least desirable candidates. There usually isn't anyone running that I could wholeheartedly support. Or at least, there aren't candidates that I could support that have any chance of actually winning.
Unfortunately, I live in a state where "Democrats" are pretty much just moderate Republicans, so it tends to feel a bit futile but I go to the polls anyway.

I am registered to vote, but have not voted on anything yet because I only just got old enough - gonna fill out my absentee ballot ASAP, though!
05/31/2012
I always vote.
05/31/2012
I vote because I want a say in my government and I feel like I don't have a say so if I don't get my behind to the poll station.

I've voted in every election since I was eligible to vote. I believe, if you don't vote, you really have nothing to complain about. It is a right given to me, and every legal US citizen, by our Constitution. I feel that the American citizen, takes for granted this privilege which many people in other countries, around the world, envy and wish they could exercise without reprisal.

If you don't vote, you don't have the right to complain about anything in society.
07/12/2012
i used to believe in the power of voting... not so much anymore. i still do vote as often as possible.
07/12/2012
I never have
07/12/2012
Mostly just major elections.. I want to get better about voting every chance I have though.
07/13/2012
It depends on the candidate and whether or not I care. Lol.
07/13/2012
it's compulsory in Australia, so, yep!
07/13/2012
I firmly believe one vote never makes a difference
07/13/2012
Only if I have an opinion.
07/13/2012
yes, if I dont vote for who I want and I no right to bitch about whats going on. IMO
07/13/2012
Nope I'm a Voluntaryist. Only those who don't vote can complain, because we don't support the system at all.
12/09/2012
Presidential. That's about it.
12/09/2012
Major elections, but I usually skip out on local elections.
12/09/2012
Always, every election.
