When it is time to vote, people pick the choice they like best. They might mark a secret piece of paper or raise their hand to show what they want. Then, all the votes are counted up. The choice with the most votes is the winner! Voting helps us pick our leaders and make our community a happy place for everyone.
- Voting is a fair way to decide because every person has a voice that matters.
- People have been voting to make group decisions for thousands of years.
- In the United States, Election Day happens in November!
