Default Register to Vote

This is a reminder to register to vote, if you have moved or never registered before. It's part of your civic duty as a citizen, and makes our democracy stroger. Don't be apathetic, everyone gets one vote and you should exercise it.

Search in google for your county + registrar of voters and register today!


This is NOT an invitation for politicking. Just go vote, and let your voice be felt in the election rather than heard in an echo chamber.

It is also part of your duty as a citizen to learn the difference between a democracy and a constitutional republic.

Please note that the OP was only talking to smart people. Dumb people shouldn't be allowed or encouraged to vote. Or reproduce for that matter.

Because as long as you check a box, or pull a lever, or stick your ballot in the mail box it doesn't matter how the government is organized? How can you even know if what the politicians put in front of you to vote on is legal if you don't understand the nature of the government you live under?

I can't agree that everyone should just vote and that's fine and people who bring up things like the structure of government are "buzzkills." In an ideal world everyone would be informed and vote - this is not what we have. I am absolutely not saying people should not vote, I'm saying that people who don't take the time to actually understand what they are voting on and how it relates to the structure of the government they live in don't make things better.

I'm fine with a keyboard, I just hate overusing the letter E.

I think it's pretty cool that Former President Clinton is coming to my school tomorrow to talk on this exact topic.
