Should the voting age be lowered to 16 years old or stay at 18 years old? There is a movement in progress currently that is attempting to get the voting age lowered from age 18 to age 16. They are a group who call themselves “Generation Citizens” and have named this movement “VOTE16USA”. They argue that in most states 16 and 17 year olds can drive independently, attain a job, pay taxes and even be tried as an adult in a court of law; therefore, why should they be subjected to wait two more years…
Proxy Voting refers to the process by which one person or entity votes on behalf of another.

Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. (“DSA”) votes on behalf of its clients in matters of corporate governance through the proxy voting process, with a focus on the investment implications of each issue.

people know, we as American citizens have the duty and right to vote. Voting is an important part of our world and it is what keeps our world in, somewhat, a stable manner. Although all Americans can vote, the United States requires that a person must be 18 years of age or older. There has been some discussion around our world about lowering the voting age to 13, which I agree that this is a terrible idea. Lowering the voting age to 13 would, in no way, be a good idea. How could we trust a…
In the United States of America, presidential elections are held every four years. Each election year, the people vote for their candidate of choice. Their votes are then assessed by the Electoral College, and then the winner takes office. It seems pretty simple, or is it? To vote in some states, one must present certain kinds of identification. If they fail to do so, they are denied their right to vote. These laws seem to target certain groups in the country, and that just does not seem right.…
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…
With the Presidential Election fast approaching once more, America is again reminded of the importance of the vote in our democratic society. Equal rights allows everyone to cast their vote on who should be moved into power. But it was not always like that. It is common knowledge that due to voting qualifications woman haven 't always enjoyed the luxury of participating in political affairs nor have African-Americans. However it is less known that even some adult white males were excluded from…
Since the election is quickly approaching, a voter’s main concern is to make an informed choice for the best candidate. When pondering this decision, it is common to have doubts on who to vote for, but abstaining from voting all together is not the end all solution. There are many outside factors that affect the overall voter turnout— which is low— ranging between 55-60% of eligible voters. Since this is the case, it is important for Americans to embrace democracy and vote to have their voices…
Voting is a human right because people shouldn’t be discriminated when they go and vote or even when they go and register to vote. We live in a time where people shouldn’t be judged by color or race. It’s almost as if history is slowly repeating it self. As citizens of the states we have to come together and stand up for others because in the end we all have a voice that needs to be heard. It may just be me but I feel like the law that passed in Alabama is very specious. Why is it that Alabama…
