There are many different ways to vote for things. Raising your hand to show if you say "yes" or "no" to a question is a way of voting. You may have voted this way in school. Whether you are raising your hand or casting a ballot, voting is a great way to let people know how you feel about an issue.
Have you ever heard your parents or other adults talk about voting? They might be discussing candidates who are running for office or important issues that affect the way they and you live.
