Your vote matters! Besides being our civic duty, voting is a powerful tool that shapes the future of our society. When we exercise our right to vote, we shape public policy, hold leaders accountable, promote change, represent our community, influence local matters, honor history, and voice our opinion. Voting gives you a voice in the decisions that affect your every day life.
