You may not always agree with your family members on small issues like what movie to watch together or what food to order in a restaurant. Every person may have an opinion and voting can be a way of arriving at a decision.
In a democracy, voting is an important tool that gives citizens a chance to voice their opinion and participate in the system of governance.
Our constitution has given every person above the age of 18 the right to vote. It is not just the right but also the responsibility of a good citizen to vote during elections so that he/she can have a say in choosing the right leaders to run the government and make laws for the welfare of the people.
Voting allows us to hold the elected representatives or members of the government accountable. If we are not satisfied with their work or do not agree with their views, we can change the government by voting them out in the next elections.
