Now that the elections and the hype is over,
I would like to know do you vote every election,
just went the mood hits you,
never
and why or why not
Here in Canada we just had an election and only 51 percent of people went out to vote, it was really bad,
but canadians in general are tired of voting, our governemnt has come to a vote 4 times in 6 years and it is ridiculous.
so from whatever country you live in,
do you go out and vote,
why, how, how often or why not.

Why don't you vote each election?
Just curious as I feel it is such a right and privilage that I do it each time.

I have and still do vote every election and even the primarys.
It is a pleasure to know that I had a say somewaht in the elections etc.
It is a privelage to vote also I feel as well as a right etc.
Here in Minnesota we had an 87% turnout this past election day.
Not quite a record.
That was 88% in 2000.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

One year I did not vote. Mainly because I knew who would win even without my vote and because if I voted I would get called for jury duty and in my job I spent enough time testifying in court so I did not want it to interfere with my job.

I haven't voted for years, too hard to get around, but I was called for Jury duty, can you imagine that.

I have only missed one presidental election since I became old enough to vote.
I would've voted against the person that had one, but I was only one and he won by many more than that.
Maybe if more people that election cycle had voted he would've lost, but I rather think not.
I can't say I have voted in every single local election, or even every primary, but I've been voting since I was 18 and am now 54 (almost 55.)
