2016 Election

This year’s election in 2016 was the first time I have ever voted in my entire life.  I have never voted in years previously because I have felt I was not educated enough on the election.  Now that I am a junior in college and have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge on the presidential election, I thought it was time to cast my vote on my opinion. The first thing I needed to do was go online and register. I was nervous that I was going to get very confused in the process and just give up, but I used http://registertovote.ca.gov, which made it very easy. It explained the process of registration, and even gave a date that the ballad would be in the mail.  

After I registered, the only thing I had to do was wait for my ballad to be delivered to my home in California. Since I am from California, I have to vote from there.  When I got notified that it has been delivered to my house, I took a road trip down to California to fill it out. After filling it out and casting all of my votes, I felt really proud. I feel as if I have done my part in being an American Citizen by voting. I believe every vote counts, and everyone should do their part in voting.
