Hi— w*i«^*<* Your Vote It Does Count Across the country today political candidates are skirmishing with more than the usual degree of fervor at this stage of an election year. The professionals are motivated by the knowledge that in 1972 the election process is being opened up to major new elements. People from all walks of life—young and old— the rich and the not-so-rich—men and women of all races and creeds—are climbing into the political arena with firm ideas of their own about shaping this country's destiny. And this is their right, protected by our Constitution of 200 years. To our traditional electorate wiU be added in 1972 over 11 million young adults, 18 to 20 years of age, now enfranchised by the 26th Amendment. Additionally, some 14 million Americans who have turned 21 since 1968 will be eligible to participate, for the first time, in a Presidential election. This 25 million potential could have a decisive impact on the outcome. Candidates are pressing hard for this vote. Party bosses who traditionally met in smoke-filled rooms and handpicked their slates are finding their powers eroded. Pollsters are having difficulty charting the political pulsebeat of this youthful electorate. Incumbents and candidates alike are concerned over the effect of this new voting element. These first voters comprise a massive force for accomplishment. The newcomers are turned on and eager to become involved in such problems as .peace in Vietnam, disarmament, inflation, joblessness, education, minority rights, housing, health care, dangers to life from air and water pollution, and countless other problems. Undoubtedly, many of these young adults can help the United States remedy jts national and international illnesses.. • • As an essential first step, they should be aided and encouraged to register and vote. If they should fall victim to the apathy which already exists among their elders toward the electoral process, the nation will continue to suffer. The dismaying truth is that only 73 million citizens cast ballots in the 1968 Presidential election. Then only 60.2 percent of the 121.5 million eligibles went to the polls. 47 million stayed away. Here is the world's greatest democracy, a smaller percentage voted in a major election than in any other nation of the free world. Of the 47 million non-voters, some 15 million who were qualified to vote passed up the opportunity. Another 10 million could have qualified but didn't bother. Many, of course, were prevented by harsh state residency requirements, or by being unexpectedly away from home or overseas on election day. Thanks to the Voting Rights Act Amendments of 1970, the right to register and vote by absentee process for President and Vice President, regardless of where one may be in the world on election day, now belongs to those who take the initiative in exercising that right. Perhaps you are one of those who asks, "Does my vote really count among all the millions eligible to vote?" Here's your answer: In the 1960 Presidential election, Richard Nixon lost to John Kennedy by less than one vote per precinct out of a total exceeding 69 million votes. In 1968, Mr. Nixon won over Hubert Humphrey by less than three votes per precinct out of more than 73 million votes cast. A shift of 64,000 votes or 1.2 .percent of the 5,573.810 ballots cast in Illinois and Missouri in 1968 would have thrown the Presidential election into the U. S. House of Representatives for decision. There, 26 votes—one from each of 26 states—is the maximum needed to elect the President. Do you still wonder whether your vote counts? Hopefully, you are prepared to make it count. Bjegin today to familiarize yourself with your precinct's requirements for registration and voting. Mark{' these important dates on your calendar and rearrange your daily timetable to meet these deadlines! .Undoubtedly, you have opinions about our country's major political issues, and our national and international problems. Read, listen to and think more intently about current events. Seek out reliable information on important issues. Study both sides of a question. And find out whether candidates share your views; if not, why not? Many issues today present a challenge to the electorate. But America didn't become strong and free because her people turned their backs on challenge. Today, a,s in the past years, there are disturbing conflicts that must be confronted and resolved. You—and every other American citizen—can take the first important steps toward answering today's challenges : •i Register to vote. • Become knowledgeable on candidates and major issues, • And then, in the General Election of November 7, exercise your most prized possession—-your right to vote for the candidates and party of your choice. On each individual rests the responsibility for implementing this right. No one can do it for you. Start today. Become informed. Register. Make your vote count! You can HONOR AMERICA, and yourself, by your action.

The professionals are motivated by the knowledge that in 1972 the election process is being opened up to major new elements.
