Just lie about your age. If you are at a game, they don't put a limit on the age of who can vote, you can still get a card and vote. That's very strange. Just put in a higher age and vote anyway. When you vote next year, put in the same age and keep doing so until you are 18.

I remember volunteering for a political campaign when I was 17.  I was nervously positioned at a busy intersection handing out leaflets.  A man grabbed one, glanced at it, and snorted in disgust at the candidate's neatly trimmed beard. "He needs to shave," was the only comment, and his mind was set for election day.  I remember simmering in the irony that, come the election, his opinion was more valuable than my own.\n\nThat's just to say that yes, 18 is a pretty darn arbitrary number.  And even then so many teens don't vote that you may not have much clout in your demographic.  If there's hope, I think it's that grassroots movements tend to be effective, especially on a local level.  You may not be able to vote, but you can convince neighbors and family members that an issue is important and organize them to make sure politicians listen.\n\nHang in there.

You have until you're 26 to register.  They haven't fined anyone for years.  It's a good idea to sign up anyway just to be on the safe side.

Is there a 'right' to vote? Or should we take a different view and argue that it is a 'privilege' to vote? Let's see.\n\nIf voting is a 'right', especially if you call it a 'civil right' then by definition it can not be taken away. Rights can not be lost, for then they would not be 'rights'. Privileges can be lost (ask any teenager!), but not rights. Also, 'rights' belong to everyone equally, so if you have any rules about voting, it can not be a 'right'. Many countries have a minimum voting age. Well, since many countries are filled with convicted criminals that can not vote, as well as underage people that can not vote, voting can not be legally considered a 'right'.\n\nWell then, it is a privilege? If so, there are rules on earning it and on losing it. How does one 'earn' the privilege to vote? Is it by being a landowner? Is it by being born male, or by being old enough? How old is old enough? Is it 18 or 21 years of age?\n\nDo any of these rules, or the many other ones tried by countries over the centuries ensure quality voters? Many of us know people of voting age that are just plain, well, not intelligent voters. We also know people too young to vote that are very careful and intelligent about casting their vote. I know dumb landowners and intelligent renters. If you want to call voting a privilege, I assure you that any line you draw for people to cross in order to 'earn' that privilege will be a flawed line. I offer you the argument that voting is not a privilege.\n\nVoting in political elections is not a right, nor is it a privilege. Then what is it? I contend that it is a grave responsibility. Those that do not agree, should not be allowed to vote. Those that do agree, should be allowed to vote. They should strive hard to make 'informed' decisions which are best for them in the long-term.

No signatures are needed to run for president.  All you need is to be 35 years or older, you must be born in the U.S. and must be a resident of the U.S. for a minimum of 14 years.

Currently you must be born in the United States or be a child of US citizens if you are born elsewhere.  You must be 35 to run for president.

Contact your local council as soon as possible and ask for a postal vote. I believe that the deadline for such postal votes is 4.00pm BST on April 24th 2006

This tradition dates back to the times when children lived at home unil they married, and were very much under the control of their parents. The voting age was twenty-one, when 'adult status' was officially conferred, and as Whickerman advises, a front door key was issued for independent access to the family home.  As an adult, you were considered free to come and go as you pleased rather than according to your parents' wishes. Thus, you were now entitled to "the key of the door".  (It's a British tradition.)

It varies by state, but you should check with your local government.   In some areas, you must re-register if you haven't voted in a specified amount of time.

False. You have to be a citizen, 18 years or older, with no felonies on your record, and be registered with the local precinct where you intend to vote 30 days before the voting takes place.

No. The very latest you can vote is on election day.\n\nYou'll have to wait for the next election to vote.
