7. Voting connects citizens with their political
process. It helps choose our leaders (those who
share our views or those who may inspire us).
The simple act of marking a ballot tells our
leaders what we think about decisions that affect
our lives, such as how much taxation we think is
fair or what issues (such as health care or the
environment) we think are most important.
8. Voting connects us to one another as citizens.
By taking part in an election and by expressing
our point of view, we help our democracy work.
By agreeing or disagreeing with our leaders we
show that the political system can accept
differing points of view and can resolve them.
By not voting, we break the connection
between individual Filipinos and their
community.

democratic community can only survive if its

•By voting, each citizen participates in a process
that might lead to other forms of involvement,
such as working for a political party or even
running for office.
