I forgot to vote last spring on some local issues, however. I don’t align myself with any particular party. As for the reason I vote. It gives me a reason to bitch. If you don’t vote, don’t complain about the outcome and don’t voice your opinion about issues you didn’t think were important enough to go to the polls for.

i always vote, unless i’m not in the country at the time of the election and forget to register absentee (which has happened only once i think).

i’m a registered GREEN PARTY member, but i vote democrat.

Do you vote and why? Yes I do and yesterday was elections in Trinidad and Tobago. It was my first time voting and I voted because I believe my opinion counts, my one paper decides who gets to affect my future. And I know that now I have voted I can have my representative ‘hot’ fulfilling the promises they made. If I didn’t I would not have been able to complain.

Do you affiliate yourself with any particular political party or side? No I don’t, though it’s quite easy to here. People usually vote according to race or who their parents and friends voted for. However, with the introduction of a new party all of that seems to be changing. I vote for righteousness, what I need for the next 5 years and from past experiences.

not yet, as i’m not old enough :)

I definately like the NDP. But who I vote for depends on the situation. During our last election I’m pretty sure I voted Liberal hoping that they would beat out the Conservatives.
They didn’t though :(

Do you vote and why?

Yes, because I’m interested in politics and like to state my opinion even if in most cases my one vote doesn’t make a difference in the outcome of an election.

Do you affiliate yourself with any particular political party or side?

I’m registered “decline to state”, which in California means no political affiliation. I’m too independent minded to subscribe fully to the philosophy of any one political party.

when i was young i was a democrat…as i grew up i became a republican….now i am a registered independent.

Do you vote and why?

Yes, I’ve voted in every election possible since I turned 18 (in 2000). I think it is my duty as an U.S. citizen and as a woman to use my right to vote as it was fought for so hard by many people in our country’s history. Also, even though just a single vote may not be much, its the idea that my single vote put together with other single votes will indeed make a difference.

Do you affiliate yourself with any particular political party or side?

When I first registered to vote, I registered as a Republican, mostly because my parents are Republican and I was hardcore into church back then (so not like that anymore…). But my political ideology is strongly libertarian, which means I tend to vote independently, based on the issues.
