slo’s TUESDAY 11/5 poll - Voting 🗳️

[slo]

My fellow Americans…..today’s the day to go vote, so if you haven’t voted, and you’re registered, please vote today.

Voting is a formal expression of opinion, or choice made by an individual or body of individuals. What I am wondering today, regardless what country you live in, is how often do you vote when there’s an election? I’m talking about all elections, not just for leading the entire country. By me, we have elections for town Council, clerk, treasurer and for other town officials. Some people live in a city where you have to vote for a mayor. The list goes on and on for who we vote for in elections. So share with us today…….

Are you a registered voter?
If yes…… what is your percentage of voting since you became a registered voter?
(multiple-choice)

*I want to be clear…… this poll is not a place for people to bash those that say they don’t vote or vote very little. People have their own personal reasons on why they vote 100% of the time or why they don’t vote at all. Everyone has their own free will to do what they want. If you don’t like someone’s answer, then keep it to yourself and move on. I pride myself with keeping these polls fun, lighthearted and informational. Us Americans have heard enough toxicness this entire campaign process, so let’s not make this poll toxic - thank you!



For Me……I registered to vote when I was 18 and I honestly don’t think I have ever missed a single election. Town elections have always been very important to me, because my MIL used to be the assistant clerk treasurer to our town, so anyone voted in would be her new boss. My husband also used to be a volunteer firefighter for our town, so voting for certain town council members to stay on was very important for the fire department. My husband was also on the Waterboard, and keeping certain town council people in their position was always important in regards to that as well. I feel very strongly about voting, and I look forward to going iand casting my ballot today.

I have been registered since I was 18 also I have lived 3 different states.
I always vote. I like now I can vote by mail.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I always vote for the big elections, the ones that are every two years. I voted early this time, since I didn't want to encounter any election day problems.

I am very happy that today is election day and the campaigning is over.

 

[Disneylover99]

I am Canadian. I have always voted in every election. I remember my father always talking about the importance of voting growing up. So it was instilled in us from a young age.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I am a registered voter... I always make it a point to vote.

Wise people have told me: If you didn't vote, you have no right to complain.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I am a regular voter, and voted early this year. I am very glad the political ads are going to go away now!

 

[bobbiwoz]

I am an American, and I am close to 100% voting in elections.

 

[Kitty 34]

I have voted since I was 18. I have always respected and enjoyed that right.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I will be voting today even if I have to stand in the pouring rain for hours ( yes it’s been pouring rain for two days non stop ) I have no electricity right now so I got to get my car out of the garage so I can go vote if I cannot get my car out of the garage my neighbors car is outside and I will ask him to drive me and drop me off so I can go vote!! if he can’t I will Uber so I can go vote!!

Uk but always vote in our Elections

 

[Dan Murphy]

Registered voter since 1965, age 21. Age 18 voting age started in 1971. I've always voted every election local, state, national. When early voting became available, I did that. When mail-in voting became available, I've done that. I voted by mail 2 or 3 weeks ago. It is so very important to voice our opinions by voting.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

I am also American and believe voting is a privilege. I registered at 18. I have voted by mail since Covid. I am also thankful for tbe end of political ads. Have a good Tuesday everyone.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I've never missed an opportunity to vote since I was first eligible in 1986. As a woman, seeing what is happening now to the women and girls of Afghanistan, I feel it more important than ever to use the voice I have. I vote for those women who cannot even speak in public now, because I realize that freedom can be taken away when ordinary people do not act and exercise their rights.

*takes soapbox and slinks away*

 

[kanerf]

Live in PA, work in DC, so have to vote by mail every time. While I said I vote 100% of the time, that is if my ballot actually gets to me on time. There have been a few misses over the years. I was able to confirm that my ballot was received by the county this year.

 

[AppleDumpling]

I too have voted every year since I was 18. Have always done it in person, with the exception of the years I was away at college and did absentee ballots. I feel it is my duty as a citizen and want to be part of the process. I also vote in spring elections for some local positions like school board, although not in primaries, since I choose to be registered as an independent.

 

[Moliphino]

I'm a US citizen and registered to vote. I vote in all of the big elections (president, senate, house, state reps). I may skip a primary (the state democratic primary this year had no actual races, so I didn't bother) or a local election where I don't really care either way.

 

[easyas123]

I am a registered voter... I always make it a point to vote.

Wise people have told me: If you didn't vote, you have no right to complain.

I whole-heartedly agree with this sentiment.

I've yet to vote today, will go at some point during the day or on way home from work.

 

[ronandannette]

Canadian here; we elect our federal, provincial and municipal governments, and our local school board trustees. I haven’t missed voting once since I turned 18, in any level of election. Heck, I even make sure to get my ballot in when they elect the social committee at my office. And I do a lot of polls.

 

[RedAngie]

I usually skip voting every 3rd year (years before Presidential elections) because IMO nothing of significance is decided those years in my area. Maybe school board or low level county positions.

 

[NYCgrrl]

I know a lot about the history of American civil rights and honor those who came before me by voting. May future generations never forget the importance.
