Voting and the Electoral Process

U.S. citizens, 18 years of age or older, have the right to one of the most fundamental aspects of our democracy: voting. How do we vote, when do we vote, and why do we vote or choose not to vote are essential questions that are an ever-evolving aspect of our local, state, and national government. How does the process work and what are the key elements of our elections?

Here’s our own Democracy 101 video on the subject.
