When you hear the word democracy what do you think of? A democracy is a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Democratic citizenship focuses on The Right to Vote.

Voting is the fundamental mechanism for choosing leaders that are held accountable through free, fair and competitive elections.

Are you committed to democracy? Are you registered to vote? Are you sure your voter registration is up to date? Our general election is November 3, 2026. Be sure you are actively participating by registering and casting your vote.
