do you vote? would you vote?

A curious question from someone living in the only one of the few western democracies with mandatory voting.

If you are American and of voting age:

Will you be voting in the next Presidential election?

Will you be voting in the next Congressional election?

Obviously, those under 22 will not have had the chance to vote in a Presidential election, and those under 20 won’t have had the chance to vote in a Congressional election, but if you are of voting age this year, will you vote in the Presidential? Will you vote in the next Congressional election?

And are there qualifications to your decision to vote? (ie. “only if my preferred candidate is the nominee for my party” “only if opposing candidate needs defeating”)

I'm not asking about your political leanings - I don't actually want to have that discussion here. I'm just curious whether you would vote, and what conditions are placed upon your willingness to vote.

adafrog: How about your thoughts on pets?

Pets are a responsibility and a pleasure. I mention the responsibility first because they're a lifetime committment - the lifetime of the pet. Yes, circumstances change and sometimes you have to give up a pet for reasons, but when you take an animal into your family it should be with the firm intent and willingness to give it a Forever Home.
