And Bring Your Kids to Show Them Democracy in Action!
All American citizens who are at least 18 and not incarcerated can vote, but sadly not all eligible voters do so.
Read all about the history of voting rights in America in "Who Gets to Vote?" on OurWhiteHouse.org.
Use the suggested discussion questions to talk with the young people in your life about the value of voting, and most importantly demonstrate your commitment by going to the polls and exercising your right to vote on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6! Talk with your kids about the candidates and ballot questions on your local ballot ahead of time, then bring your kids with you so they can engage in the process!
