discussion Do you vote when there is an election ?

[MP3]

When there is an election in your country, in your province, in your state, in your city, do you vote ?

 

For me, since I'm 18, I vote at every level of political (federal, provincial and municipal)

you'd do a disservice to yourself and others by not voting 

 

vote!

[The7thStranger]

I vote when I can.

 

I live in Germany, but I'm not a citizen, so I can only vote in local elections. I do vote in these.

 

For the US, I often miss local election sign-up dates because I don't live there anymore, and I don't keep up with it. But I try to do the bigger ones. Always presidential, of course.

 

For Italy, I vote in any election where I can do a mail-in ballot. So basically, if the consulate sends me a ballot, I participate. These are the reverse of Germany's elections for me, i.e., I can vote in federal-level but not local-level elections, as I am no longer registered as living within the country.

[Bloodflowers.]

yes, I will be voting for upcoming elections here in Croatia this Wednesday where I will be voting for left-wing progressive green party Možemo and for Sandra Benčić to become our new elected female prime minister of the country (our only previous female prime minister wasn't elected, she was put in that position as a replacement after current prime minister at the time was ousted for corruption)

[LustSpell]

Yes. I have never missed an election since I turned 18

[Jon Snow]

yes and stream YA YA  by Beyonce 

[harwee]

Yes. Nobody votes in my area so can I be in an out in a few minutes on my way to do my groceries.

[glitch]

Yes I always vote, even for the local council elections

[Bonicap]

No, I don't. It's a competition of egotistic people and mafia-esque companies that just want to set up their friends in useless jobs paid by citizens who actually work. I don't want to legitimize with my vote a mechanism of influence trafficking and corruption that can't be stopped by any means.

[Pheromosa]

I've voted in every local election since 2016

 

[byzantium]

Yes, there is an election like every 3 months in my area and I always go in to get that sticker. 

[Alldeezy]

here in Australia .. if you don't vote .. you get slapped with a $500 fined .. we don't have a choice   and most the time our pm's are F**ked in the head

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

Voted when I turned 18 only for the presidential candidate I voted for to lose  but that won't stop me this year

 

Also I live in a different state now than the address on my ID and apparently you can't vote in certain states if you have a different state address on your ID so I missed local elections in 2021 

[Suilen]

I did once because I was forced to by my job (at least they didn't check who I'd voted for, and some places do make you take a pic of your ballot or something), but not really under this dictatorship, no.

[Batsy Armada]

Yes, always, if I know about it. Sometimes elections sneak up on me and I don't even realize they're happening until a day, or so, before they're held. I've been doing better at being in tune with the various elections, however, and politics in general. I voted for the past several that were held.

[AMIT]

I used to, but after learning more about how the system works I don't anymore. It's a huge waste of time. 

[Ewan Chaos]

Yes, if I'm honest I don't really care much about voting for the president or anything in a safe blue state, but local elections have been really important for the past few years as have state-specific propositions.

[MALAMENTE]

Yes.
