Why Should We Vote Voting in India is a Constitutional right if one is a citizen over 18 years of age. However, that also makes it optional.

Here's why every citizen of India must cast his or her vote: Agent of change: Voting is the agent of change. If the people of India think...

Importance of Voting In his Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln called democracy “government of the people, by the people and for the people.” It means that we are not here to serve our government, but that our government is here to serve us — and we have the right to decide who will represent us and how we want to be represented. It means that we have one of the greatest rights any free people can have: the right to vote. Voting is a right that, throughout history, many have fought for...

In my opinion I think the voting age should be lowered to age 16. The first example of why I think the voting age should be lowered to age 16 is because youths can be tried for crimes as adults and they can fight and die for their country like adults but yet they are still not allowed to vote. I think it’s highly unfair if you treat teenagers who are 16 years old like adults on some issues but not all is issues. If you treat 16 year olds like adults on one issue, why not all other issues. It...

Voting is one of the most important things that can be done as an American. Voting gives people the right to voice their opinion on pending laws, ordinances, and who they want to be in local and state officials.

Should voting be made mandatory? “To be or not to be, that is the question,” says Hamlet in a soliloquy.

Democracy is not government of some people by some people and for some people as a frequent practise in some developing nations. Democracy is a nation...
