3 Steps to Successful Voting

1St

Personalize

Voting means choosing who makes the policies and laws that affect YOUR everyday life. You can improve both for the better by voting. Your goals should be the foundation of your vote. What is your top goal? A good job? Access to healthcare? College financial aid? Community and school safety? Clean air and water? What else? Learn more about yourself here.

Research

Now that you know your goals, learn how they translate into voting issues. Then you can compare what the candidates say about the issues. Remember to distinguish between reliable information and hype. Sources should be accurate, trustworthy, and unbiased. Rely on non-partisan, non-profit, educational sources, not promotional sites.


Circled 3

Match

How will candidates’ positions and campaign pledges affect your daily life if they are enacted? Your vote should go to the candidate whose programs, policies, and voting record match your goals the most. There may not be a perfect match; it’s more of a compromise. Vote for people who support your goals and with whom you most agree.
