Voting is the foundation of democracy, giving citizens the power to influence decisions that shape their communities, government, and future. It allows individuals to voice their opinions on critical issues and elect representatives who reflect their values and interests. By participating in the electoral process, citizens hold leaders accountable and contribute to a government that truly represents the people. Every vote counts, and collectively, voting strengthens democracy and ensures a more equitable and just society.
