Voting, It's your civic duty. Options

[hi-C]

I've been over 18 for 4 years, but, because of going to college out of state, this will be my first time going to an actual voting booth, and I'm really excited, like I'll be voting for the first time.

What about you guys? Any first time voters? For those who've been voting for a few years, how was your first time? And for those who live outside of the US, what is voting like where you live?

Yeah, not really looking forward to that, but they won't give us the day off classes to go vote. For the primary there was only a referendum or two so it wasn't a big deal.

That's really appaling.

I got to vote for the first time on my actual 18th birthday, which meant that I was the youngest person to actually vote in my district in the 2007 local elections, which was pretty nifty.

To answer your question, Carrie, voting is pretty straightforward. Walk in, get handed ballot, mark an X next to the candidate of choice, and drop in ballot box. Then get a sticker, about which I was excited.
