  1. If you are unable to vote (do not have citizenship, are not 18 or have had your rights revoked):
    1. Put a brief 1 – 2 page paper together that covers, and submit your file to this post (click the link above):
        • Candidates
          [have specific policy proposals been announced on their websites/social
          media accounts directed to the needs of the community? (e.g. if
          these candidates will represent impoverished communities, dealing with
          intense criminal, how will they resolve these situations? Perhaps in
          the form of community/economic development programs; or interested in
          reversing law that would allow felons another chance at voting; etc.          ).
        • Review the issues being voted on, and share your opinion regarding what you would support/oppose and why.
        • How can the segment of society that is not authorized to vote still impact the political process?
        • Feel
          free to mention if you have already participated in some fashion, in
          the election/campaigning process, either in the USA -or- other parts of
          the world (e.g. canvassed for candidates, researched issues/laws,
          made phone calls, passed out information/literature and answered
          questions on behalf of candidates, block-walked, etc.          ).
