5 Reasons out-of-state students should still vote!

1. Your vote can make a difference! Local, state, and even national elections were decided by very small margins, thus one vote can influence the outcome of an election, and who becomes the elected official to take office! 
2. Voting strengthens our democracy! The basic definition of democracy is for the people by the people, therefore the more eligible voters who vote, the more engaged people are in the democratic process of electing our leaders, creating change for the future.
3. Voting in elections can contribute to historic moments! It seems every year, every election, every administration, there are unprecedented events that will forever be remembered in the history books, and by using your voice to vote can be your small contribution to American history, whatever those events may be!
4. As an out of state student, voting in your home community will not only have an impact this fall, but for the next few years, thus it is important to create positive change with your vote, to elect officials with your similar values, who will prioritize the care of your home community! 
5. If your values are not reflected in your home community, vote anyways! It may feel like a small effort, but voting back home can demonstrate your care and concern for your community, and your hope for electing officials who reflect the same values as you! Hold onto that hope!
