Understanding Your Vote

Voting is like having a superpower to shape your future! It's how we choose leaders who make big decisions about schools, healthcare, the environment, and more. You can vote in person for that “I did it!” moment or by mail for extra convenience—but either way, your voice matters. Elections start with primaries to pick candidates, then general elections to decide the winners. The presidential race adds a twist with the Electoral College, where 270 votes seal the deal. Voting isn’t just a right. It’s a chance to speak up, hold leaders accountable, and make a difference in your community and beyond. Your vote is your power, so use it!
