If you're a US citizen, and you are 18 or maybe just haven't bothered in the past, I'm asking you now to please register to vote. While it may seem like you can't make a difference with just one vote, you can. It shows that you have an opinion, and you care what this country (and how the world sees us!) does, and what person you feel can lead it most competently.

Below is a link to the Rock the Vote campaign, which has registered over 2 million young voters (including myself!) for this upcoming election.

I'm not trying to push any politics on you - just asking you to make your voice heard.

Im all ready register to vote. I voted today for my local state elections for the 1st time so it was empowering.
Cant wait for election day though.

Ohay I voted in a Florida primary today!
I've obviously already registered but I love that this cause is being pushed.

I have been registered many years now. I always vote in every election.
Kudos to you Keith! Its a wonderful thing you are doing.

Ive been registered and voting for many years now, but I do remember how uninformed young people were when I started voting most never even thought about registering till they were well into their 20's at that most just voted for whoever their friends told them to sad but anyway I do believe it will be a close election so every vote will count. Get informed and get involved in your future!! Very very nice Keith

I applaud you, Keith but.. No way am I voting. I don't like any of the people running. Depending on how things go after the winner is sworn in, I very well could be high tailing it to Italy or Canada. xD

That is awesome! I'm already registered, but I think awareness is important. If your link gets even one person to register and vote...then thats a great change.

Nice work posting this... don't waste your vote by not voting!

Thank you for bringing this to young people's attention! It's nice that Subeta can exist in the REAL world and not hide and pretend the world outside of itself doesn't exist. Like some sites...

I need to register still..but the paperwork is all filled out. I need to get a new ID at the Department of Motor Vehicals v-v Need to make my way up there in teh next couple weeks.

When I turned 18 one of the first things I did was to register to vote - it was the first time that 18 year olds were given the right to vote and was a very big deal. I have been exercising that right ever since.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yep, I'm registered. Ready to start pokin' those chads

I live in Estonia..so no register..and i am 17.

This will be the third election that I get to vote in. Hopefully, unlike the last two, this one will swing my way!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I register already =] but this was a good idea, shows you realy care about what happens in this country.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I applaud you on your efforts to open the eyes of the young. It is important that the younger generations learn now that their opinions matter than the wake up one day and realize that when they had the opportunity to improve this country they didn't. I'm not a huge fan of politics myself but this election is going to set an example of just how many people crawl out of the wood works to vote. I know this is going down in history... So keep it up, Keith. You rock the vote

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Though I'd be more than willing to sign up to vote, time constraints of my move are keeping me from doing so this year. I assure you that I will be signed up for the midterm elections and the next presidential election. ♥

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yes but if you vote for the weird parties because you don't think they will win, eventually enough people that think the same thing will vote them in XD

I don't know about politics in general, I am registered but I feel like it's voting for the less of two evils.

Thank you for getting some awareness out to the younger crowd Keith, we need a new voice!

You can urge someone to register to vote and then to actually do so - but how can you be sure they're making an educated decision when casting their ballot? Some people may just vote for someone because they're from the same state as them or because someone tells them to. Maybe you should insist that people get to know the candidates instead.

I find US politics quite strange, I never quite understand what goes on. xD But then I bet you find UK politics strange, I mean WHY do we have Gordon Brown when we didn't even vote him in? =P When I'm 18 I'll definitely vote, though I'll probably be voting for all the weird parties that never have a chance of winning. x)

I've been registered. We actually got to do that in class at school. We took the whole period to do so

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This is pretty cool of you Keith. I applaud you trying to get the younger people who are eligible to vote interested in making their voices heard.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

is this like a sponsorship or are you just doing it for awareness

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Cool idea, Keith. I'm not old enough yet but by the next election I will be. I'll keep this in mind.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I've already registered. YAY voting!!! I'm opinionated enough to let the world know what I think. <3
