Are you searching for the perfect gift for your loved ones (and yourself) as the holidays approach? Imagine a gift that doesn’t cost a penny, is good for your health, empowering, and strengthens your community. This holiday season, give yourself and others the gift of civic engagement by making sure you are registered to vote and encouraging others to do the same.
Voting is a democratic right that gives each citizen the opportunity to influence how future governments address issues important to their community. Several studies find that voting is good for your physical health, mental health and other benefits of voting include improved social connections, increased personal empowerment, and fostering community-based leadership. Voting is the gift that keeps on giving. Give the gift of voting this season!
