Overview

Every story has a beginning. Whether it is your first time voting or your tenth, each voting experience will change as you continue to grow and the country continues to move forward.  Take a moment to reflect on the beginning of your voting experience until now.  Which moments stand out?  What experiences would you have changed?  Take a moment to reflect and then challenge yourself to consider the following questions when you vote.

Presented By: The Ambassadors Circle


Up for the challenge?

Grab a notebook and quietly reflect on the following questions:

  1. How was voting viewed or discussed in your family or inner circle? 

  2. What was your first voting experience like for you?

  3. If you had questions leading up to election day, where/who did you go to for answers?

  4. If you were eligible and you chose not to vote in the past, what informed that decision?  

  5. Will you vote in the next election?  Why or why not?

Tips…
