They don't want to be involved in political events, they may not even care who gets elected.

People don't want to go to a poll and they think it's a waste of time.

Some people don't vote because they either live in a country, and don't have citizen ship, or they don't know who to vote for.

Some people dont vote becuase maybe there under the age of 18. Or maybe if its an adult they dont have time to or they dont like the people that are running and they dont want to vote becase they dont like any of them. mwahahahaha

Ibrahim

People Don't Vote Because they have no Interest in what's going to Happen or they just don't want to get involved in the political events at all

Fabian Mendoza

2023-10-25 14:52:24 UTC

Some people might not vote because the candidates running to be president might not support the problems in society that they support, or the candidates running might not seem to be good for the position, causing people to not want to vote.

you have to pick which president you want to rule the world

Rishabh Gopi

Voting is crucial to detemine how the future of a country will come out.

Rishabh

People might not vote because they are too lazy. They also might be in a dfficult situatio where they could not vote.

Aashutosh

Voting is important because we get to choose our leader for the country.

Christian Baez

30338271 — 2023-10-25 15:02:40 UTC

Voting is important because people don't understand that whoever they vote for is going to depict their future

2023-10-25 15:07:43 UTC

Didn't like Candidates or issues.
People with college experience may know more about politics or their college might have a poll.
Lines are polling places that take too long, that doesn't seem like a valid reason, usually there are multiple polling places, so there shouldn't be too many lines.
Did not like the candidates, We expected that there will be people who don't like the candidates or issues.

Ian Mitchell Jr

3037358 — 2023-10-25 15:09:32 UTC

This site is helpful for new voters that are new to the country, there is a feature to it that allows you to change it, but I would say it's not good for older people that voted before.

Fabian

2023-10-25 15:09:41 UTC

Their required to fill our their information about themselves and where they live.
I don't think it should change because it easy and simple and its understandable.

Ibrahim

2023-10-25 15:10:24 UTC

Voting is important because you have to share your personal thought's on who can handle your Country the best and Solve the Problems that of the citizens

Peyton

3012489 — 2023-10-25 15:12:27 UTC

People registering need to just enter basic questions about your life like your full name, address, birthday and other personal questions.
No I don't think it should change because it includes a lot of personal information that is needed.

Alexa Egnozzi

2023-10-25 15:12:49 UTC

-I think that this form to regerster for an application is easy. It has basic questions that evrybody should know. It should be easy for older people becuase it has basic questions that you have to fill out. But I dont think and elderly person would be able to read tis becuase it is really small maybe they should change it to a larger print.

Meghan

This website is organized because it has everything labeled and is cleaned up and it not hard to look for what you want to learn about voting .

Aashutosh

2023-10-25 15:13:48 UTC

I would feel sad, depressed and angry. I think other voters may not vote because the line is too long.

Nicholas

30082521 — 2023-10-25 15:14:00 UTC

I think it's very organized and very easy for us to use
This could help potential voters as it has everything you need as a new voter and is very organized.
I think the website is very helpful and can be used by anyone.

3024636 — 2023-10-25 15:14:27 UTC

If I were waiting in this line in 2020, I would feel very unsafe due to being exposed to people who may have COVID-19, but I would also be happy because the lines are short since people are concerned about being killed by COVID-19.

Ibrahim

2023-10-25 15:16:20 UTC

I would first feel Depressed after seeing the line. I Would Feel Sleepy after waiting for 2 hours. I would then feel angry that the line is not moving since it's so long. Then I would just Leave after a day of waiting. This Could affect people in a way that they wouldn't want to vote again because of these Lines.

You should speak up for what you believe in and choose the leader of your country.

3024636 — 2023-10-25 15:16:44 UTC

voting is important because by voting, you can select who you want to represent your country and make good choices.

Nicholas

30082521 — 2023-10-25 15:17:07 UTC

Voting is important because it helps you be apart of the government

Alexa Egnozzi

2023-10-25 15:17:12 UTC

Peole dont vote becuase maybe they dont like who is running but If you dont vote than you cant complain about who won since you didnt vote.

Fabian

2023-10-25 15:17:15 UTC

It helps gives a chance on who runs for president and can maybe supply your country.

Meghan

This can help voters if they are confused about how to vote
this website is a level 9.5 out of 10 because it can really help you out if you want to learn about voting.

1. The website is easy to use. The design looks a bit old which, I believe can help seniors vote and register online. Since the design looks old, it has only the important things that are on the website. The website does not have unnecessary things. The voter registration application is easy to read and navigate through, which helps both the old and the young.

2. The Website can help you register to vote. In the voter registration application, there is an option to request to receive the ballot through mail until requested otherwise. This can help the one getting registered, as they will be able to register and vote from home without having to go to the specific building they are assigned to go to for the poll.

3. If the total is out of ten, I would rate this a nine or eight. It is very easy to navigate through, and all the important information is provided. The voter registration application can also be done in four different languages, making it easier for people whose first language might not be English. The only flaw is the size of the voter registration application.

i think that much older people should fill out the aplacation because by looking at it i think it is kinda easy but hard i just think it is for older people to do because its to much filling out and you would have to be 18 and a us citizen

Ibrahim

2023-10-25 15:27:52 UTC

They Don't vote because they have to wait in long lines for hours while Standing Up
