Hey guys!
A few days ago, I checked my mail and received my Vote by Mail ballot, to my great excitement. The only reason I was excited to turn 18 was to finally be able to vote. Even though I’m many miles away from the great city of San Francisco, my permanent residence is still technically in the city, which means I’m allowed to vote!
Not having been in the city and not having been paying much attention to the current issues, I was a little ashamed to realize I barely even knew what was on the ballot. Thankfully, they had also sent me a voter information guide, which is also published online before every election. I spent a good couple of hours reading through the measures on the ballots and the arguments in favour and in opposition of the proposed measures. I found it fascinating, especially having worked with my own legislation through Maryland Student Legislature.
While I can’t visit the city as frequently as I’d like to, I can still speak my voice in the greatest city!
