Voting connects citizens with their political

process. It helps choose our leaders (those

who share our views or those who may

inspire us). The simple act of marking a

ballot tells our leaders what we think about

decisions that affect our lives, such as how

much taxation we think is fair or what

issues (such as health care or the

environment) we think are most important.

Voting connects us to one another as

citizens. By taking part in an election and

by expressing our point of view, we help

our democracy work. By agreeing or

disagreeing with our leaders we show that

the political system can accept differing

points of view and can resolve them. By

not voting, we break the connection

between individual Filipinos and their

community.

•Voting helps to safeguard our freedoms. A

democratic community can only survive if

its citizens see participation in the political

process as a duty and a responsibility.

•By voting, each citizen participates in a

process that might lead to other forms of

involvement, such as working for a

political party or even running for office.

why VOTING matters

It makes us equal.Each vote sends a

message.Politicians notice who is and isn't voting.Whoever wins has the power to impact your life.What happens now has a great effect on the future.

YOUth should vote…•Every vote counts!

•The Hottest Issues Are Also Youth Issue

•Voting Is Worth the Effort

•The Youth Vote Is Often Underestimated

•Democracy Only Works When You Work It•Don't Vote, Don't Complain

Bottom line: you should vote because you can

Voting is a tremendous gift.

YOU may just be one among

millions of Filipinos who will vote next

year

If American's can do it

why can’t we…
