I registered to vote 21 days before my State's primaries. I was 17 at the time, and therefore, I hax'd the system.

Give me one more year, and I'll bump this.
I registered when I turned 18.
I will be sending in my request for an absentee ballot later this week.
What KB said. Verbatim.
Does anyone have any information on voter registration and draft eligibility? I'm afraid registering to vote may also register me with the selective service system in which case I will never be voting.
I'll make it right on time for the '12 election. I'll be 18 by the end of September.
It is completely separate, and supposed to be done independently in proximity of your 18th birthday. It's safe to say that the law requiring registration may be ignored, since no one has gotten in trouble for it since 1986 (says Wiki).Originally Posted by nik0tine
Of course, the logic for letting people vote at 18 was "if you're old enough to die for your country, you're old enough to vote."
I registered today as well, but why I did, I have no idea. I don't know who I'm supporting-- so far, I like neither to be completely honest, but I dislike politicians in general. I guess I registered just to register.
I've been registered since I turned 18. I've only voted in the one general election we've had since then, and the party I voted for won our region's seat with a majority of something like 46%. I cba to vote in anythig else because it's not important. I'll probably vote in the next general election, if there ever is one.
The messenger is standing at the gate
Ready to let go
Ready for the crush
Too late for whispers
Too late for the blush
The past is mercy
When the future is aglow
Voting doesn't count. I vote, the result gets +1 from me, that's like nothing. Unless they pay me to do so, then I'd be glad to oblige.
Registered to postal vote as soon as I turned 18. Have voted in several elections. Welsh Assembly election (2007), County Council by-election (2007) and County Council election (2008).
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
There are more things to vote for than just president. You'll have US Congressional Rep, US Senator (depending on the year - we have one this year, Go Rick Noriega!), State Senator, State Rep, and all kinds of potential municipal laws and city and county positions.
I know that my vote for president won't really matter, as McCain will carry Texas by 10 points, but all of the other races are important, too.
