The importance of voting from a young woman’s perspective

A guest post from a young woman who cast her vote today.

I am incredibly proud to be a New Zealander today! 121 years ago New Zealand became the first country in the world to grant women the right to vote.

If you are not enrolled to vote it’s easy you can go cast an early vote and enrol at the polling booth before hand. BUT YOU HAVE TO DO IT TODAY!! I just did an early vote and it took all of 2 minutes was super easy and fast. If you are enrolled and don’t want to make an early vote make sure you do vote tomorrow.

There are really important issues in this election that are extremely relevant to our generation. So find an issue that is important to you and VOTE! If you are unsure you can do vote compass to see what party most aligns with your beliefs.
