Each year, elections take place in various states across the nation. In order to cast your vote in an election, you need to be a minimum of 18 years old and your name must be included in the voter registration list. If your name isn’t on the voter list, you won’t be able to vote. Once you have registered your name on the voter list, you will receive a voter ID card that allows you to participate in the election.
