Voting: A Right and a Privilege

The North Dakota Secretary of State website hosts number of voter education videos. Take a few minutes to view Voting: A Right and Privilege for America's Youth. The video clarifies for you who can vote, where they should vote, and so on.

Did you know that all states except North Dakota require voters to register before voting in the state? I'm not sure why North Dakota does not require voter registration, but it's yet one more thing which makes our state unique.

The national voting age was lowered from 21 to 18 in 1971. Do most 18-21 year olds you know plan to vote in the upcoming Presidential election? Why do you think they are interested (or disinterested) in voting?

When you go to the voting place in your precinct in November, don't forget to take your ID which shows your current address.
