Many people vote because they are for or against an issue or candidate. For others, voting is about ensuring high voter turnout in the community, which results in greater access to elected officials and more of
a say in decisions affecting the community. Review these and other reasons to register and vote below.

Absentee voting allows you to vote by mail. Though every state has absentee voting, rules on who can take part vary. Visit your state election office website to find out if you can vote by mail. Can I Vote takes you right to your state’s absentee voting page.
