Shanine Dorta of Leadership Palm Beach County, one of the sponsors of Monday’s Election Expo, offers these reasons to vote:
- Civic responsibility: Voting is a way to participate in shaping the future of our country and community and world. By voting, you take responsibility for the direction of policies and leaders who represent you.
- Influence policies: Elections determine who sets policies on critical issues like healthcare, education and the economy. Voting lets you influence these outcomes.
- Accountability: By voting, citizens can reward good leadership or hold elected officials accountable for their actions and decisions.
- Representation: If you don’t vote, you are allowing others to decide for you. Voting ensures your voice is part of the conversation.
- Preserving democracy: Voting strengthens democratic institutions and safeguards against authoritarianism by ensuring leaders are chosen by the people, for the people.
