For the first time in my life....

Good Girl! The first thing I did on my 21st birthday (before it was changed to 18 in Pa) was register to vote and I never, ever have missed a vote, whether it local, state or national. I think it's an honor! There's nothing worse than a mouthy zealot whose never pulled a lever!

Congratulations!

Good for you, Anna. I think it is not only a right, but a priveledge to vote. I cast my first official vote as an 18 year old in 1980 in the Presidential election. And my candidate won!

Congratulations We need more interest in politics & government.

My husband and I try and go and vote together. I think it is a very romantic thing to do!

I voted in my first election in 1972...unfortunately the guy I voted for won too...

Good for you! Like others have said here, voting is a privilege. I have voted in every election since I turned 18 - the laws had just changed before that. Also like others have said, if you don't vote, you don't have a right to mouth off that things aren't going your way - we do have a say and every vote counts, except for maybe in Florida
