The outcome of just a few seats in the Senate or the House could change which party will wield control of the chamber for the next two years. Voting is an important civic duty, whether the election is for control of the White House or your kid’s student government president. Being informed and engaged in civic issues is everyone’s responsibility, but oftentimes, the process of learning about the candidates and casting a ballot can seem excessively burdensome. Don’t be discouraged. Taking time to get to your local voting booth is extremely critical, and this year’s election is no exception. Policy affects people from the local level up. Exercising your individual rights can have a tremendous impact on the political outcome.
