Please be sure to review our community guidelines before commenting. Thank you!  Free and fair elections are a foundational component of political freedom.
There is more to democracy than free and fair elections, but there can be no democracy without them. Constant vigilance is required to protect this foundational component of political freedom from the threats arrayed against it, which range from old-fashioned fraud on election day to media manipulation and regulatory obstacles during the campaign period. There is no stronger way to articulate the power of voting than through the words of Abraham Lincoln, "The ballot is stronger than the bullet." Voting is the citizens' way to express opinions, thoughts, and values on issues that affect individuals and the communities they belong to. Collectively, voting allows us to make decisions on the people who represent us and the values that we hold. A bullet may be able to start a war, but the ballot can definitely end one. In modern-day America, we take pride in the fact that nearly every citizen has the opportunity to vote regardless of race, religion, color, gender, and sexuality. Growing up, I realized how lucky I was to be able to be living here, to be an American citizen, and to have the power to vote when I turn 18. Thus at an early age around 16 I began to develop a better understanding of my right, privilege, and responsibility. First and foremost, American citizens are given the right to vote by the Constitution, but even though it is a fundamental freedom, I would still consider voting a privilege. After gaining independence from Britain, the framers of the Constitution knew that it would be important to give power to the people, to let the people determine who they wanted to lead the country, to let the people influence the decisions of the federal government to better the country—and they did just that. While many countries have developed a voting system for electing representatives, while our government and systems aren’t perfect, I would still consider America’s elections to be the most secure and influential. For presidential elections, even though we are technically voting for our electoral college, it is comforting to know that my vote will still count and that every voice is considered. I am also allowed to vote for my own representative to ensure that someone with similar values as myself can make a difference up in Capitol Hill. It is very reassuring to know that someone out there is fighting for what I believe in, which is not always guaranteed in other parts of the world. This is why I consider voting to be a privilege. Because we are given this precious right, I believe it is our responsibility to use it to the fullest, to help improve our country one vote at a time. If there is a change people want, we must use voting to be able to make it happen. For example, if we want to take action against Abortion, The Supreme Court, repealing the 2nd amendment or a myriad of subjects, it is our responsibility, as citizens, to vote for a representative with the same values and with the same drive for the cause, to vote for a President who promises to put all of these at the top of their agenda. Our main job as citizens of the United States is to express our opinions on matters about the country and to show our passion at the polls. By taking just a small portion of our day and voting, our voices are heard and action can be taken. Voting, along with our 1st amendment freedoms, is arguable our most valuable asset as American Citizens .So, is voting a right, privilege, or a responsibility? It is all in one, and I’m grateful for it. I’m grateful I can be a citizen who has the right to share my stance with no judgment or penalties.

Avery “Talk is cheap, voting is free; take it to the polls.” George Carlin “If you don’t vote, you lose the right to complain.” Monica Crowley “Voting is as much an emotional act as it is an intellectual one.” Theodore Hesburgh “Voting is a civic sacrament.” Alan Moore “People shouldn't be afraid of their government.
