Same here. Not only is it my civic duty, but it's also a privilege many people will never get to enjoy.thing2of2|1306416780|2930754 said:Ditto! Haven't missed voting in an election since. I vote in most of the primaries too.ladypirate|1306389659|2930612 said:18! I think voting is a vital part of a democracy and so I signed up as soon as I was legal.![]()

Since I was 18 by the time the election occured, this was perfectly legal (according to the person registering voters -- and since I didn't get in trouble, it must have been fine)
I think I've voted in all but one election since then.

DF-if you don't vote I don't want to hear you whine about the government anymore. You forfeit the right to complain if you don't even take part in the political system!
