Voting is one of the greatest benefits of living in a democracy.  We won't get into the electoral college and such but basically there is one vote per person.  Any registered American over the age of 18 can vote. 

In order to vote, one must be registered in the town where he or she lives.  Larger towns have specific districts where one registers and votes.  One can check their local newspaper or call their town hall for specific location.

It is important to bring a picture id and proof of residence with you.  This is part of ensuring fairness in the electoral process of one vote per person.

You can vote strictly for one party or for candidates from either party.

Many vote for the first at at 18 and many do at 60.  You are never too old to be a voter for the first time.

It is common to hear more criticism about the candidates than good and therefore important to try to get to the truth.  One can do that by visiting the state site where the candidate is from and check the voting record of the candidate, see what bills they voted for and those they opposed.  Using  a search engine with their names and state they are from and you should be able to find old newspaper articles about them. 

Vote for the candidate you believe is the best, your decision, your vote.
