Why Register?
Historically in the United States, voting has been limited to a select few. At the beginning of the nation, this only included white male property owners and then later left voting rights to the individual states where many imposed restrictions based on property, race, gender, and even religion. During Reconstruction, the 15th Amendment gave black citizens the right to vote; however, following the end of Reconstruction, many states reimposed restrictions such as poll taxes and literacy tests (which were nearly impossible for anyone to pass) that were given at the discretion of the poll worker,s leading to wide-spread disenfranchisement of minority and poor voters. Intimidation and violence also impeded the right to vote for many citizens. After decades of marches and collective action, the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote in 1920, but this largely did not extend to women of color. The Civil Rights movement lead to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, extending rights to all citizens over the age of 18. Unfortunately, many barriers such as gerrymandering of districts and various state restrictions on restoring voting rights to released felons still exist today. Exercising your right to vote honors all who have fought for that right.
