Election Day is coming up in America. Voters across the United States will choose who they want in government. In fact, some have already sent their ballots in through the mail! On Tuesday, the country will decide who becomes the 47th president and who helps make the laws alongside them in Congress.
Maybe you've heard people predict who is going to win. But the truth is—nobody knows just yet!
And nobody will know until Americans have their say. Here's a quick explanation of how that works.
Why Is Voting Important?
Voting is how the American people make their voices heard. It's also how we hire and fire our elected officials. When we cast our ballot we are choosing to give power to someone we want to represent us. Or, sometimes we vote to take power away from someone we don't want in government.
Some people in other countries do not have the right to vote. Many Americans consider it a privilege to vote. We live in a type of government called a democracy. All citizens have the opportunity to influence laws and decide who holds the power to make those laws. What is the main purpose of voting according to the passage?
