Title: Do you vote?
Post by: Lincoln on June 26, 2004, 08:12:00 PM

I've noticed that young people rarely exercise their right to vote, so I'm just wondering: Do the members of this board vote? And what is the age when you are allowed? It's 18 in Canada.

18 in Germany. I turned 18 in February, and there was only once the chance to vote since. The election for the European Parliament. I voted for the Green Party.

I only vote for the national elections. The first time I could vote was in America, I could go to Scottsdale and vote at the Dutch Embassy. Coincidentally my plane to Hawaii would leave that morning, so I didn't vote :P The elections before that were 4 days before my 18th bithday :-\

don't vote.... it's really a waste of time, you pretty much vote for who the better liar is ... and while you are voting for the figure head of the united states government, you can't control who his advisers are...i like living my life knowing that i didn't vote any one into office

Since I was born, my Dad voted for Reagan Twice, then he voted for Dukakis and lost, then he voted for Clinton, I voted for Clinton his second term, and then I voted for Bush.  I'm going to vote for Bush again this fall.
