It will take you literally no more than ten minutes to vote and, if you voted in November during the general election, there’s a chance you will magically become a lifelong voter. As the saying goes, if you vote twice, you vote for life.
After you vote, take a selfie with your “I Voted” sticker with the hashtags #VoteHOU and #HouDecide so everyone can see you did your civic duty. Happy voting!
