Pros And Cons Of Voting

Decent Essays
Voting is a formal indication of a choice between two or more candidates or courses of action, expressed typically through a ballot or a show of hands or by voice. Since I am not an American citizen so, if I could vote then, I would vote The Democratic Party(Bernie Sanders). There are huge differences between the two major parties. I do not support the Republican Party because this party does not give freedom as much as Democratic Party do. Also, Republican Party is full of racism. Since, America is a country of immigrants then, why the Republican Party will not give freedom and equality to all kinds of people would not get equality and freedom. If the Republican Party especially Donald Trump wins the election, then there will be a huge …show more content…
They should have respect for everyone. If they fear of God, then, they should also know that, it is the matter between God and the LGBT. Therefore, everyone should love everyone instead of judging and opposing the Gay, Lesbian people. Democratic People give freedom to everyone. I would not say there is no racism happening during this party presidency. Racism of color, religion, ethnicity will exist whatever the Party is going to be. In my opinion, people will support the Democratic party because this party provides various advantages such as Healthcare, protects citizen rights, prevents monopoly of authorization, spreads equality and more. In my opinion, Democratic Party helps to develop this country more in the future. Bernie promises to make more change and to provide more benefits for all the people. In Education System, he promised to make college for free which is a very great step to take for the students. However, it also has a disadvantage because when an individual get something for free, then, one do not value the thing. Primary, Middle, High School students are not serious about their education because they are getting education for free, but when they get to college then, they become serious because

    Although only 60% of eligible voters vote, voting should be an option rather than a mandatory task. People have their reasons for voting and not voting, and they should be the ones to decide whether they want to or not, rather than forcing someone who isn’t educated in politics to vote, which could completely change the outcome of an election. Compulsory voting would be a bad idea as it would alter the results negatively by causing people who don’t care about politics to just vote for someone randomly, the idea itself is unconstitutional and against everything the document says, and it would just ruin the point of voting as results could end up being inaccurate.…

    Although compulsory voting has not been implemented in many democratic governments, those that have adopted its method show very high voter turn out. Since 1924, Australia has been a leading example of how efficient mandatory voting can be when implemented properly. Mandatory voting has many benefits that would not only aid the political system of ones country, but also countless other factors such as economics, foreign policy, and the general will of the people. Obama has even considered instituting this type of policy in the very free and democratic United States of America stating, “…mandatory voting would empower these groups and counteract the influence of big money in elections…”[Josephine Tovey]. With a compulsory voting law in place…

    I voted for the first time in 2014, only a month after I had turned 18. I felt proud to be participating in our democracy and to be fulfilling my individual responsibility as a member of this country. However, I believe I only did so because I did not struggle with the hurdles that many others in Kansas face. The reason I am writing to you today is to address the impact these hurdles have on voter turnout and to propose a solution to this problem. As the Kansas Secretary of State, you are tasked with deciding the requirements that citizens must meet in order to vote in these elections. Some of these requirements, including shorter voter registration deadlines and stricter voter ID laws, were adopted by Kansas under the Secure and…

    As a citizen of the United States, it is our profound responsibility to vote for our nation’s future leaders. Nevertheless, I am utterly disgusted by the fact that citizens have to pay a poll tax in order to vote. That isn’t really fair. Paying to vote for the people who are to lead our country? Nonsense! Many southern states adopted a poll tax in the late 1800s, and even though the 15th amendment gave former slaves, such as myself, the right to vote, many of the slaves were poor and did not have the money to be able to afford it. But also as a woman myself, I am glad that the 19th amendment was passed and allowed women to vote, and though only passed a couple years ago, not all women are able to vote still!…

    It was voting day and you were still trying to decide if you wanted to voter or not. But with mandatory voting you don’t really have a choice you have to vote. Mandatory voting could force uninformed people to vote in elections. Mandatory voting would also cost more money. Some people may say that mandatory voting would create easier access to vote. However, I do not think that mandatory voting would be good for the United States…

    In the United States, currently citizens are worrying about Cecil the lion, but they should be thinking about issues that affect their everyday lives. One of these issues includes voting, in Kenneth T. Walsh’s article “Voting Rights Still a Hot-Button Issue” speaks about how President Johnson signed a law in 1965 to right a wrong, but politicians are continuing to debate this idea still. This law is being over ridden by Shelby County, Alabama v. Holder, some states who have had histories with voting related discrimination “pre-clear” any of the voting law changes that may be made. This allows for nine states to change their voting laws without prior approval. There are some states that have been imposing more restrictions on voting, but are stating that they are trying to prevent voter fraud, and are not discriminating. Some key provisions that are being proposed is a…

    Tactical voting is where a voter will vote for a different party to what they initially were going to vote for. This is usually the case when their first choices are parties which might not stand a very good chance of getting in but they also want the current government out. This is not always a good thing as the party who is not chosen because of tactical voting now doesn’t stand a chance (or at least not a very good one) of gaining a seat. An example of when tactical voting was used would be in 1997 when the Labour and Lib-Dem voters voted for the party which stood the highest chance of beating the conservatives in that election. So in this case Lib-Dems decided that Labour had the best chance of winning…

    “Is voting a right or a privilege?” That question came to my mind, when I was thinking about human rights. I think it is ethical to say that voting is a right for everyone because everyone should have the right to choose their leaders regardless if you are a felony or not. In the past only rich and powerful people were able to vote, however as of today everyone that lives in the United States that are citizen over the age of 18 now has the right to vote. As Michelle Alexander gives examples in her book The New Jim Crow how African American don 't get to vote due to the color of their skin. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was designed to make the right to vote a reality for all Americans. the Voting Rights Act has made it a big step toward that…
