I have conservative beliefs, and I will vote for Bush. However, the number of young registered voters steadily increases as students age. They don t have to pay taxes or have jobs, and they don t own houses or cars. Others, according to the Bureau, refuse to vote and feel their vote cannot make a difference. Some are just not interested.
College students living away from home are eligible to request an absentee ballot.
This ballot permits students to cast their vote in the city, county, or township they are registered in, and they can vote in the municipal clerk s office, up to 5 p.m. the day before election. Most people, however, request an application for an absentee ballot from the municipal clerk. The clerk will then, mail the ballot to the person, and the voter must return the ballot in time for the clerk to deliver it to the proper polling location on Election Day before polls close. Young voters may have a weak voting record, but many have opinions regarding the election. I registered to vote when I turned 18 because I wanted to change everything.
