How Voting Works

What does it mean to vote? Who can vote?

People in the United States vote to elect their leaders. Not everyone in the United States can vote. You have to be a citizen of the United States. You have to be 18 years old. You need to be registered to vote.

These people are helping people register to vote. When you are registered, you can vote. You can tell your choices for leaders. It makes a difference!
