Well it doesn't really matter all that much except for the for the fact that you really have forfeited any real right to criticize the things you might have helped prevent.

It's a privilege that's a responibility, meaning if you are a felon you loose the privilege to vote.  If you aren't an US Citizen you can't vote.  \n\nNow it's a responibility because it is a part of good citizenship.  A right not used is a right denied.

Some places use voting lists.  Others use drivers license info.  If you drive and vote, they're gonna get you sooner or later.

When I went in to vote I took my voter's registration card, my ID, and one of my county water bills, but all they did was ask for my name, date of birth and address, punched a few things on their little computer and gave me my ballot. You'll be fine. Take some kind of ID in case, but go VOTE!

Your registration does NOT expire even if you don't ever vote.\n\nYour registration DOES become invalid if you move.  You need to re-register everytime you move.

Do you mean registering to vote?   Electoral Votes are established for each state, not based on registration. I believe.

The most important benefactor to the voting process is the person doing the voting. There is a disconnect between those who don't vote and the society around themselves. It's a symptom of diminished self-image ..... ie., "My voice isn't important enough to count," vs. "Even if my voice isn't heard by the masses, I'll speak up." As for me, I hate politics, but I love our system. I don't believe in being a victim by default. Hey look, I spoke up. Does this count as a vote?

Plenty is done for the people, including those  who do not vote. Even if an election result does not go the way I voted, I know that I had the opportunity to make my opinion known to those whom with I disagree. \nIt takes quite a bit of effort for anything to be placed on a ballot, people must support a candidate or issue and take proper steps to complete the process. If things that matter to you need voter approval, get out and volunteer with a group that supports your views, getting involved will give you a greater satisfaction with the political process. Your effort does matter and you can make a difference in your community,  good luck.

I vote every year, so if you vote once, every two years, you don't have to register. You just have to register the original time, when you vote..I vote, because It is every Americans duty to vote..We are lucky that we live in a country, where you are allowed to vote..

Marvin Martian is right... only if you move.  Otherwise, you should be alreay registered at your last polling place.  If you haven't moved... and they give you a bad time... report it immediately to your local voting commission, your state representatives, and any site on the net that will take your statement.

Yes.  In fact, voting in any state, federal, or local election does greatly benefit the country, even regardless of who you vote for.  High voter turnout is crucial to a functional democracy.  That's why I've voted in every election since I turned 18.  All one of them.
