Even though politicians of today have made a joke of elections and such, I vote because I hope it makes a difference, and to honour those who fought and died to give me that right.

In a Democratic system we have the opportunity to help elect an official that shares your political views. Everyone has that right regardless of race, creed, color or economic standing. Think how helpless those under a dictatorship feel.

Many complain about the current elected Government officials but often don't exercise their right to vote. That is the only way you can affect change.

Whatever your thoughts on your government system, if you have the opportunity to vote, you really should. Not everyone has this privilege and nothing will change if you abstain.

We live in a democracy. The only way to affect change or have your thoughts and ideas spoken to is to exercise your right to vote.
