Explanation:
When it comes to politics, Americans have become pretty pessimistic. People don’t trust the political parties. Voter turnout is mediocre. Cynicism and polarization are rampant. But this pessimism belies a truth: Individual Americans have more political power than they realize.
From the Tea Party on the right to the Trump resistance on the left, citizen activism has helped change American politics in recent years. If politics is a conversation, every American has a voice. Here’s how you can use yours more effectively.
How to Vote
Casting your vote is paramount. There are also steps you can take to ensure your vote will matter.
Voting is the most fundamental form of civic engagement in a democracy. But the United States has among the lowest voter turnout of developed nations.
One reason is that the simple act of voting often turns out to be not so simple. Most American elections are held on weekdays, forcing people to plan around work and family schedules — especially if their polling place has long lines. Making matters worse, elections for most elected offices don’t coincide with national elections, as the political scientist Sarah Anzia has noted. That can make it difficult to keep track of all the times you can vote.
The good news is that you can take some proactive steps to increase the odds that you will vote and that your vote will matter. You can even help your friends and relatives vote more often.
Learn your state’s voting laws
What do you need to do to register? Can you vote early or by mail? Do you need to be registered with a political party to vote in a primary election? What identification will you need at a polling place?
You don’t want to be dealing with these issues in the final days before an election — and run into a problem that you can’t solve in time. The Fair Elections Center offers an annually updated guide to each state’s voting laws. A quick Google search should turn up the website for your state’s secretary of state, who often serves as the chief election official. These websites include information on election dates, absentee voting and other issues.
Make a Voting Plan
Social-science experiments have found that people who were asked to come up with a specific plan to vote, including when and where they would vote, were significantly more likely to cast a ballot. So come up with a plan. Even better, announce your plan to others, in person or on social media, to help you stay accountable. You’re more likely to stick to a plan that you announced
