Because it's a right for us to see who were electing. Thanks to all those who fought for our right to vote, we can decide what to do. Voting means that you can control who you're voting for in the elections and if that representative does a lousy job, you can vote him/her out. Of course, it would be better if you had a field of options not like the average race where you have between 1 and 3 at the very least.

So the Government officials can sit back and laugh at the way the people still act like puppet on a string . Running back and forth hanging signs , donating money ,spending hours debating a subject that they can't possibly have any bearing over and them getting to the polling place. This is where they laugh the hardest. " Look at those fools " , they'll say . Dick Chaney will put his arm over the shoulder of George W. and laughing hysterically will say , " We thought you had surely blown it last time George 'Ol buddy ". Then he goes on to say , " You came through in the end but we've really got to know , where did you come up with the "Hanging Chad thing ?" Dubya will reply , " Heck , I thought tha' Merican people knew that their vote didn't really count and I usta like the Mericans. "Ever'thangs gonna be awright jus' as soon as we can get 'em all tagged with that micra-chip an turn 'em all over to the Saudis so's I can get my oil "

Voting is important because when you vote you are exercising power. Your vote is your voice, and not only your right, but your duty as a citizen. If you don't vote, no one hears you, and those that do vote, take the advantage.

It's the process by which we select our representatives in government, which is of the people, by the people, and for the people.
In a Democracy, there is no civic duty more important than voting.

It depends on where you live and what kind of Democracy you live in but it is important none the less Direct Democracy vs Representative Democracy...

Too many GIs lost their lives fighting so that you can maintain the priviledge to vote
